McCarren International airport is a very busy place.  Every year we have more and more people flying in to Las Vegas.   But Las Vegas aside there are some security measures you should be aware of.  This will go for any airport.  Be patient, Keep control of your bags at all time, Do not accept packages from any strangers, Do not joke about having a bomb or firearm, Do not discuss terrorism, weapons, explosives, or other threats while going through the security check point.  Do not try to "test" security procedures by carrying fake or real weapons, explosives, etc.  Be alert to suspicious activities, packages, or abandoned or unattended luggage in the parking lot or airport.  Report anything suspicious to security.

Adult passengers must bring a federal, state, or locally issued photo ID.

Have your ID and boarding pass out and ready as you approach the checkpoint.

Etkt holders should check with their airline to make sure they have proper ID.

Except for those with specfic medical needs or parental needs, only ticketed passengers are allowed beyond the security check point.

Each traveler is limited to one carry on and one personal back such as a purse, laptop or briefcase.

All electronic items such as laptops and portable phones may require addional screening.

Wear as few metal objects as possible.
