Am I allowed to wear a belly belt or neck safe through airport security?

[pampam]

I don't want to get into arguments over scanners and such. I'm just wondering where I can keep money and charge cards secure while traveling.

Put it in your carry on until you get through security. Then i go into the restroom and put it back on.

I agree with putting it in your carry-on just make sure you keep your ID out and boarding passes with you so you don't get embarrassed with having to take it out in front of everyone. The going to the restroom and putting it on just doesn't make much sense to me since most of the belts are visible to the general public anyway why hide that you are putting it back on. It's not like the TSA can't see them when they run your carry-on through.

I have a money belt thingy that I use when I travel on vacation it actually goes over my head so I don't need to go to the restroom to put in back on, like tweety38, I put every thing in my purse until I go through security. after I get through that I put it back around my neck, Viola quick, easy and safe.

Happy travels.

And there I stood, looking like a complete doofus. Walked through the metal detector, the TSA person said you need to go back and take that off. So, I walked backwards and did it again. This happened three times. The TSA agent just laughed at me....stuck his finger out and flipped at my lanyard I had on with my boarding pass and such in it. I had completely forgotten I had it still around my neck. I had already dutifully removed my shoes, my jacket, and figured I was good to go. What an idiot!!!

Put it in your carry on until you get through security.

Put your valuables inside your bag before you get to the checkpoint, then secure it with a lock to protect against theft when the bag is not in your direct control during the screening process.

I usually put all my 'valuables' inside a ziploc baggie, then tuck it way at the bottom of my carryon. I have never been out of sight of my stuff...even when taken out of line for a pat-down. If your stuff is in a ziploc baggie, it makes it a lot harder to grab and tuck into a pocket.
