Travel Tips

3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3 ounce bottle or less (by volume) ; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3 oz. container size is a security measure.

Consolidate bottles into one bag and X-ray separately to speed screening.

Be prepared. Each time TSA searches a carry-on it slows down the line. Practicing 3-1-1 will ensure a faster and easier checkpoint experience.

3-1-1 is for short trips. If in doubt, put your liquids in checked luggage.

Declare larger liquids. Medications, baby formula and food, breast milk, and juice are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint.

Come early and be patient. Heavy travel volumes and the enhanced security process may mean longer lines at security checkpoints.

TSA working with our partners. TSA works with airlines and airports to anticipate peak traffic and be ready for the traveling public.

Former President Bill Clinton in town today

Former President Bill Clinton landed this morning bright and early (may as well have been last night), and hit the road running. He comes to Watertown today on the campaign run for his wife Hillary Clinton's run for president. We welcome the former president and his crew to the city of Watertown and hope their stay in Watertown and South Dakota is a good one.

Senator Barack Obama in town today

Senator Barack Obama landed in Watertown today to spread the word on change. He was greeted by about 75 people at the airport, all of which had the chance to shake his hand, spread their words of encouragement as he walked on to the next guest. I had the fortune of meeting the Senator and got some great pictures of him holding my youngest son Andrew.
