If you're bringing electronic devices when you travel, the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority ( CATSA ) has tips to help you get through screening quickly.
Have your electronic boarding pass ready. One of the first things you should do is show your boarding pass to the screening agent. If it is on your smartphone, make sure it is turned on and your boarding pass is ready for inspection.
Remove all protective cases. Make sure the cases can be removed easily. Better yet, save time by removing them before you get to the checkpoint. If you are selected for additional screening and the case cannot be removed, you will not be able to take the device past the checkpoint.
Charge your device. You may be asked to show that your device can be turned on. If you cannot turn it on when asked, you will not be able to take it past the checkpoint.
Pack small electronics in your carry-on baggage. You don’t have to put small electronics directly in the bin. Save time by leaving smartphones, tablets, e-readers, handheld video games and cameras in your carry-on baggage.
Place large electronics in a separate bin. Larger electronics, such as laptops, video game consoles, DVD players, netbooks or electronic notepads, should be removed from your carry-on baggage and placed in a separate bin.
