The Montgomery Regional Airport (MGM) and the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) have prepared for the surge in travelers expected at MGM. For many travelers flying during the upcoming holiday, this will be the first return to the skies in more than a year.
TSA has announced six tips for quickly and efficiently navigating airport checkpoints to assist passengers.
Tip 1: Wear a face mask. Face masks must be worn on all public conveyances and at stations, ports, or similar transportation hubs regardless of state and local laws.
Tip 2: Leave prohibited items at home. To reduce the likelihood of physical contact with TSA officers at the checkpoint, verify if items are prohibited by using the “What Can I Bring?” page on TSA.gov.

BILLINGS - If you re in the market for a new job, look no further than Billings Logan International Airport. We talked with officials with TSA Tuesday, and they re looking to hire. I was a stay at home dad and, before I came here, I was looking for a nice part time job, Transportation Security Officer Todd Cohn said.
If you catch a plane in Billings, you might see Cohn when you go through the security checkpoint. Usually I help folks through with their stuff, screening things through the X-ray, checking things in bags, Cohn said.
He knows it s a job that carries some weight, after all, he s there to keep all travelers safe from outside threats.

Three firearms in the past three weeks have been found in the carry-on luggage of departing passengers by Transportation Security Administration officers at Billings Logan International Airport.
Each of the firearms was discovered during the routine screening of carry-on property at the airport security checkpoint.
The most recent firearm discovery occurred Tuesday when TSA officers found a 9 mm Glock G19 semi-automatic pistol loaded with 15 rounds plus one in the chamber in the carry-on luggage of a person ticketed for travel to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. TSA notified the Billings Logan Airport Police. They interviewed the passenger and allowed him to continue on his flight, TSA officials said Wednesday in a press release.
