TSA PreCheck feels like you’re flying to the Louvre when you’re really just going to Louisiana…

Artificial skeleton bones are good to go but plz warn us before we open your bag and see Jack Skellington staring back at us 💀

Someone left their dentures behind at the TSA checkpoint and we’d like to clarify… PLEASE. KEEP. YOUR. TEETH. IN. FOR. AIRPORT. SECURITY. THANK. YOU.

Hey so if you awkwardly realize TSA found a pew-pew in your bag we promise attempting to run to your gate in socks will only make things significantly more awkward

REAL ID day is here (this is not a drill)

REAL ID enforcement begins TODAY. ✈️ Here’s what you need to know ⤵️

When you realize TSA’s REAL ID enforcement ACTUALLY starts tomorrow:

REAL ID enforcement begins TOMORROW. If you’re flying within the U.S. & do not have a REAL ID or other acceptable form of ID (like a passport or military ID) you may be subject to additional screening. Plan ahead, arrive early, and arrive prepared. 🔗 www.tsa.gov/real-id

Ok so we’ve only been talking about this for the last 7,299 days, but in case you were busy… This is your bazillionth reminder to get a REAL ID for the airport (it’s getting awkward at this point).

Nobody: People flying to the Kentucky Derby:

When the passenger in front of you pulls a live animal out of their pants at TSA…

Getting your REAL ID might not seem that exciting at first… but you know what is exciting? Getting on the plane.

Trying to chug your entire water bottle in the TSA line:

If running late is your cardio then you should probably get TSA PreCheck, just saying.

Fore warning camo shotguns actually don’t blend into your golf clubs (we can see it) so let’s not putt that in there… K, thanks.

How it feels waiting for your friends who don’t have TSA PreCheck…

You know the rules… 3.4 oz or less. #Caturday

Who doesn't love a pawty? All the toys, treats, and scratchies, for K9 Ari on his last official day of sniffer duty at Indianapolis International Airport. #DogsOfBluesky youtu.be/6mVIzyK7IqM?...

After 5 years of sniffing out possible threats and protecting the traveling public, K9 Ari from Indianapolis International Airport (IND) is barking goodbye to the 9-5 and trotting into retirement today. Thanks for your service, Ari. Enjoy your golden years of belly rubs and squirrel surveillance.

HE’S READY! HE’S READY! HE’S READY! ARE YOU??? May 7th is approaching quickly. Avoid that Krabby Patty feeling at the airport by getting your REAL ID before then.

Someone tried to hand us a doctor's note stating that they have TSA PreCheck and while that's not quite how it works... 5/5 doctors recommend signing up (probably).

This is not the kind of trip you take at the airport... There's no roomies for your shroomiez in checked or carry-on bags so don't bring these with you.

If you hear somebody say “GET REAL” plz blurt out “ID” after because May 7th is getting awkwardly close and your friends probably need a reminder

*taps mic* Hi, quick announcement! It’s still us… previously our handle was @tsagov.bsky.social, our updated official handle is @tsa.gov! The travel tips, cute K9 photos, and TSA good (strange) catches will all still be here. Signed, Blue Gloves on Bluesky 🙃

Not the sharpest place to keep your knife... Last year it was a gun in a stroller, this year it's a knife in a booster seat. Please stop hiding weapons inside of your child's items. Car seats are for kids, not knives. Thank you.

You can go ahead and cut chainsaws off your carry-on packing lists…

This sleuthy floofy is hanging up his harness! After 5 years of service he’s ready for cuddles on the couch and dedicated squirrel window watching. Thank you for keeping us safe K9 Pawfficer Donald. Portland International Airport (PDX) will miss you! 🥹

POV: You're a TSA officer and this is the 427th laptop you've seen today. QUICK... SAFE OR NOT SAFE?! TIME'S UP! Did you say safe? (If so, you missed the big knife inside.) Kudos to our officer who prevented this from getting on the plane. Good job!

*adds clouds to the “What Can I Bring?” tool*

Well… this plan flip-flopped. Okay but seriously, “I didn’t know it was in there” isn’t the sharpest response when you can see the outline of it on the top of the shoe.

Two paws up because it’s two times the fun at this retirement pawty! Thank you for your service Bigi and Medo, we’ll miss you! 🥹

Oh, pup yeah! Sign up for TSA Pre-PET to pet our retired pups at the airport. Registration is free, treats are encouraged but not required. Plus, TSA PreCheck passengers will be eligible to name our future K9 Pawfficers. More info: bit.ly/TSAPre-PET #DogsOfBluesky @dogs.bsky.social

If the cat distribution system finally finds you when you’re on vacation, please review the rules before bringing feral Fiona to the airport… Okay? #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

TSA officers will find THOUSANDS of knives today. We’re thankful for the hard work our officers do daily to keep the traveling public safe. Here’s just a small sample of what a single TSA checkpoint (not airport… just one checkpoint) may find in a day.

Mercury might be in Gatorade or whatever but that doesn’t mean your carry-on should be… (plz pack oversized liquids in checked bags tysm)

Another day, another oddly specific request not to conceal brake fluid inside ZzzQuil bottles at the airport… (No seriously– please stop)

Will the passenger who forgot their *checks notes* ENTIRE CARRY-ON SUITCASE please return to the security checkpoint to claim it…

REAL ID is coming… and so is your existential crisis if this comic is relatable. 😆 You know that flimsy driver’s license you’ve been carrying around? We'd love it if you upgraded that to a REAL ID between now and May 7th. Learn how to #GetREAL and avoid awkwardness like this: www.tsa.gov/real-id
