Here’s a pro tip: wear a jacket or cargo pants with empty pockets. You can stuff a phone, keys, cards, and a tiny wallet into your pockets.
But don’t get too clever—if security sees a bulging pocket, they’ll ask you to empty it. And if you’re carrying a phone the size of a tablet, you might get an awkward stare. “Sir, is that a phone or a serving platter?”

Stick to the essentials: phone, ID, credit card, and maybe a lip balm. Everything else stays in the car or in that clear plastic bag.
What About Cameras and Selfie Sticks?
Good news: small cameras are okay—phones, point-and-shoots, and even a GoPro. But leave the selfie stick at home. SoFi bans them because they’re basically a weapon of mass obstruction during the national anthem.
Also, no video cameras with detachable lenses. You’re not filming a documentary (unless you are, but then you need a press pass, not this article).
Just use your phone. The photos will be blurry anyway, and zooming in on the 50-yard line from the nosebleeds is a rite of passage.
