As you approach a gate, your ticket will be scanned, and you will be instructed to place your cell phone and metal objects in a bin on the table or inside your handbag or backpack.
Small sets of keys or spare change do not need to go in the bin. Security will examine your bags and direct you through the metal detector.
Gates A, C, E, J and K and the Bridge Entrance will have lanes available for those who cannot go through a metal detector because of a mobility device. Guests using these lanes will be subject to a light pat down or hand wand, as well as an inspection of the mobility device.
