Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked. Instead of handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection. You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be removed for X-ray scanning. Put any personal items (like your phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening. Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to open your bag for inspection.

We understood there was some significant water damage to the property before we arrived and knew things would not be 100%. However, things that were not affected by the burst pipe also didn’t work and the staff, while pleasant, weren’t really helpful. I think it’s what happens when a property was ever involved with the maggot in the White House. It’s crap.
