We've all been stuck behind one: the traveler at airport security with liquids packed in his suitcase, an ID buried in his pockets (overflowing with change) and no clue (or care) that he's keeping you and everyone else from moving through security faster. Don't be that guy. Save yourself - and others - from unnecessary delays at the airport by learning a few simple strategies for getting through airport security lines faster.
我们都曾被这样滞留在这样一个人的后面:过安检的时候发现液体物品在行李箱里,或者身份证被满口袋的零钱藏着,并且毫无预兆或毫不留情地把其他人过安检的速度大大拖慢。不要成为那样的人。拯救自己,同时也是拯救别人,学会下面这些小妙招就可以省却很多时间过安检了。

1. Dress for Travel
1. 穿旅行装(而不是正装)

Wear slip-on shoes if possible, and avoid items with metal buckles and buttons. Don't head to the checkpoint with lots of layers on; remove jackets/bulky sweaters early in the security line. Be sure to empty pockets of keys, phones and change before you get to the x-ray machine.
如果可以,请穿便鞋,并且不要选择有纽扣的鞋子。不要等到达了检测点时处理多道工序,把夹克或厚重的毛衣早早脱放在安全警戒线处。进入安检机前确保把口袋的钥匙,手机或零钱都清空了。

2. Pack Smart
2. 在打包上多花些时间

Know what you can (and can't) carry onboard by making yourself familiar with TSA regulations. Layer items neatly in your suitcase and keep your plastic bag of toiletries/liquids in an outer pocket for easy access at the checkpoint.
熟悉安检流程,知道什么可以带上飞机什么不可以。分层整齐地把物品叠放在行李箱里,并保证用塑料袋把化妆品或液体物品放在外口袋,以便快速通过检测点。

3. Get a Security-Friendly Laptop Bag
3. 带一个便于安检的电脑包。

Stop fumbling with your computer at the checkpoint with a new, security-approved laptop bag. The Transportation Security Administration is now allowing business travelers toting bags that meet new "checkpoint friendly" standards to leave their laptops in their bags through security.
不要在检测点带着电脑拖拖拉拉的,带一个崭新的便于安检的电脑包吧。如今运输安全管理局允许商务旅行者携带一个符合"检测友好型"标准的电脑包,方便人们在过安检的时候把电脑带上。

4. Avoid Peak Travel Times
4. 避开旅行高峰期

Sometimes unavoidable, but if you can plan your travels to avoid the peak airport times (6:30-9:30 AM and 3:30-7:30 PM), your chances of getting through security faster will improve. Some times of year - holidays, spring break season, special sporting events - will always be bad, so prepare yourself for the agitation ahead of time.
有时候是不可避免的,如果你计划出行,那么就要避开机场高峰期(早上6:30 -- 9:30,下午3:30 -- 7:30),这样你快速通过安检的几率才会提高。一年中的某些时段,如节日,春季休息时段,特别的体育活动等,常常都不如人意,所以要做好人潮涌动的心理准备吧。
