These 8 Items Could Get You Arrested at Any Airport in Texas

(Dallas, Texas) - Travel season isn't just a summer thing in Texas, it's a year round thing. You'll pack a suitcase for whatever destination, head to the airport, go through security, board the plane and make it to your final destination. The going-through-security part could be a holdup for some people, however.

Why? Because they decided to bring a banned item to the airport. While the punishment is just throwing it away, there are some items that can cause serious consequences. Learn about those items that are not allowed on an airplane so your next trip through security will be much less of a headache.

Airport Security is a Pain But Necessary

Since the events of September 11, 2001, airport security at every airport, including in Texas, has been a top priority. The laws, regulations and rules have been put in place to help prevent another heartbreaking day like that. If you are not aware of these laws and regulations and rules, it can seriously slow down your otherwise very pleasant trip.

There are the obvious items you shouldn't bring aboard an airplane like a loaded handgun or a knife (bts.gov). But, there are some other banned items you may not think too much about. Large bottles of liquid is one of those. Something as harmless as a bottle of shampoo or a bottle of soda are not allowed to be brought on the plane in your bag. You will have to stop and either add it to your checked bag or throw it away.

You basically can have one bag, and pay extra for each additional bag, and a small carry-on for the plane. Pack the big stuff in your checked bag and bring only the essentials in your carryon.
