Every airport has those people who slow down the entire process for everyone, from check-in to boarding.
From the woman who forgets to remove her liquids to the man who doesn't remove his laptop from his bag, some people in airport security are just the worst.
So, in order to bring attention to that problem and speed up airport security -- especially with holiday travel coming up -- JetBlue made three videos that wouldn't be terrible as mandatory viewing for everyone headed to the airport.
The videos touch on three common mistakes that slow down the security process for everyone.
Carry-on size
(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));Let's Play Airport!

When size does matter, can you keep calm and carry-on better than these guys?Posted by JetBlue Airways on Tuesday, 27 October 2015
Carry-on bags cannot be any larger than 22" x 14" x 9". But just pack smart and there's an awful lot you can fit in that space.
Liquids
(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));Let's Play Airport! Liquids RuleLet’s Play Airport! Today’s challenge: 3.4-ounce liquids. And H2O-my gosh – these contestants are fish out of water! ‘Like’ if YOUR airport skills are on point.Posted by JetBlue Airways on Thursday, 15 October 2015
Carry-on liquids must be less than 3.4 ounces. However empty water bottles, no matter the size, are allowed. Jury's still out on empty wine bottles.
What to wear
Try to wear easy on, easy off shoes -- with socks underneath. And don't wear too many layers. Bonus points if you can remove your jacket before you even approach the security line.
TSA PreCheck also gets a shout-out, saving time for those who paid the $85 fee, and inciting jealousy in those waiting in line.
