19. Keep your pockets clear for a quick pass through security

We've all been there—a forgotten set of keys or some spare change in the pocket triggers the alarm, causing delays and frustration. Avoid this common pitfall by emptying your pockets into your hat or jacket before approaching the security line.

By keeping your pockets clear of any items, you'll breeze through the metal detector and be on your way to your gate without any hiccups.

Placing your items in your carry-on luggage before you get in line is another option.
