Will children receive a pat-down screening?
TSA officers will consult parents or the traveling guardian about the best way to relieve any concerns during the screening of a child and to resolve any alarms during screening. TSA has modified screening procedures for children 12 and under that reduce the likelihood of pat-down screening. Read about the screening process if you are traveling with children.
For travelers 13 years and older, TSA’s standard screening procedures apply.
