[2019·陕西省部分学校第一学期摸底检测]The following travel tips can help you get through an airport in the U.S. with minimal trouble.
Plan Ahead
Minimize your wait by scheduling your departure to avoid rush hours such as weekend mornings. Some airports have more than one access point for security; do a quick Internet search or ask an airline official for the fastest line. If you often travel outside the country, the $ 50 fee for a fiveyear NEXUS card could save you as much as 90 minutes in a busy customs queue.
Pack Smartly
Avoid an unwanted search — or having to throw away your beloved face cream — by packing properly. Bottles or containers of liquids (100millilitre format max) belong in a clear resealable bag (no more than one litre), and only one per person. The exceptions are baby food and milk.
Suffer the Search
Since 2010, Canadian airports have used fullbody scanners that show what's under clothing. If you're selected for such a scan, you can choose a manual pat down instead. Someone of your gender (性别) will do the search, and you can request a private room with a witness.
Share Your Gadgets
If officials at the airport ask for your phone or computer password, do you have to give it to them? It's a hotbutton legal question, but the short answer, for now, is yes. You could be criminally charged for refusing.
Say Just Enough
Unlike the police, who need “reasonable grounds”, customs officials can ask you anything. To cooperate, aim for clear, direct and polite answers.
