The official policy is simple: clear bags only. Think see-through plastic, not that cute patterned one you just bought from Target. They want to see everything you’re carrying, which feels a little invasive until you remember it’s for your safety. Plus, it’s a great excuse to buy that weirdly fashionable clear fanny pack.
Your bag can’t be bigger than 12” x 6” x 12”. That’s about the size of a large textbook. If it’s bigger than that, you’re leaving it in your car or, worse, tossing it in a bush. Don’t be the bush-tosser.
The Exceptions: Because Life Isn’t That Simple
Okay, here’s where it gets slightly more fun. Small clutches are allowed—think wallet-sized, like 4.5” x 6.5”. That’s barely enough space for your phone, a lip gloss, and one granola bar. But hey, it’s something.
They also let in medical and diaper bags after a proper inspection. So if you’re bringing your toddler or your insulin pump, you’re good. Just don’t try to smuggle in a sandwich in a diaper bag. Security has seen that trick before.
