  • For the safety and security of the traveling public, Dallas County has prohibited certain items from being brought into certain secured areas. To help you plan ahead and avoid the potential of additional screening, be sure to check out the prohibited items list.
  • It’s important to know that even if an item is generally permitted, it may be subject to additional screening or not allowed through the checkpoint if it triggers an alarm during the screening process, appears to have been tampered with, or poses security concerns. The final decision rests with the Dallas County Security Department to allow any items through the security checkpoint.
