We don't fly often and it's been about 15 years since we last did. What does the TSA do? Xray luggage? Use K9s? Any advice on what NOT to bring in any of my baggage and specifically what I wont have problems with in carry on vs luggage. I've also heard that they will steal stuff. Any truth to that?
Just general advice on the process. Flying to Denver on Southwest if that makes any difference.

Flying to DIA? Oh man, your bags will have 1000g of golden teacher when you land. Hippie.

The body cavity searches have gotten pretty out of hand post-Covid.

Tell them you are illegal vermin in the country at Joe Biden's invitation.

You won't even have to show ID. I wish I was joking.

Knives, scissors and vibrators are all a no go in carry on luggage.

No liquids over 3oz in carry on. You always keep an eye on your bag, and at least everywhere I have been, if they wanted to look in your bag, they did it in front of you.

Brass knuckles are, too.

Get to the airport at least 2 hrs ahead. Wear slip on shoes and pants that don’t require a belt (if possible) - this will make it much easier. Keep as little in your pocket before going through TSA so you won’t have to empty them or worry about them losing your stuff.

Here you go:
TSA travel tips and packing tips carrry-on vs checked

Some airports require you to take out all electronics bigger than a cell phone, some don’t. Pack carry-ons like you will have to take them out, so make them easily accessible. Have absolutely nothing in your pocket going through the body scanner….

Did you even check TSA or Southwest's website?

Only your personal item or carry on. Once you tag it and drop it to check, they will check it when and where they want without you present.

Buy a fanny pack and some easy slip on shoes. Check everything else. It's the only way to travel.

When they try to stop you just tell them you are a sovereign citizen and you have a flight to catch and keep walking.

Biggest mistake most people make is not bringing lube for when they search your butthole.
