Flamingo Airport Announces Revised Security Measures for Flights to the United States

Today, Flamingo Airport announced that the security measures for flights to the United States had been revised, following a recent revision of TSA security procedures.

The following restrictions apply to liquids, gels, and/or aerosols at the passenger screening checkpoint for all passengers traveling to the United States and passengers with other destinations departing between 6:00 and 8:30 AM.

No liquids, gels, and/or aerosols are permitted EXCEPT one clear transparent resealable 1 quart (1 liter) sized plastic bag which may contain liquids, gels, and/or aerosols in containers of 3 oz.

The contents of the plastic bag must fit comfortably and the plastic bag must be completely closed/sealed and surrendered for screening separate from your carry-on baggage.

Passengers also may have the items listed below, but they must be declared to security at the screening checkpoint if they are not contained in a clear transparent resealable 1 quart (1 liter) size plastic bag and/or are over 3 oz. (90ml).

-- Baby formula/milk (to include breast milk) and baby food in containers if a baby or small child is traveling
-- Medications (liquid, gels, and/or aerosol)
-- Liquids (to include juice) or gels for diabetic or other medical needs

All other liquids, gels, and/or aerosols may be transported in checked baggage.

Beverages and other items purchased in the secure boarding area may be brought onto the aircraft.  (Source:  Flamingo Airport web site)
