There are security check points in practically all transport terminals in the world these days. If you want to get through those checks like the frequent flyer's dothere are a couple of things to think about to make the process quicker and easier but plan ahead don't try to do it all whilst stood in line. Empty your pockets of loose change. Wallets and cell phones should go into one of those little bins they provide also. Remember heavy watches, bracelets, and belt buckles can set of the alarm, so take those off, and stow them in your carry-on bag before you get to the front of the line or put them in the bins. Think about buying snacks and drinks etc after you have cleared the security and this is particualry important with young children In the United States you are required to take off your shoes and this is now becoming a requirement of more countries so ensure you have untied laces or unzipped boots before you get to the front of the line and even better think about traveling in light slip on shoes to make it even easier. Have your one quart/one liter plastic bag with your liquids, creams and gels out of your carry-on, and put it in a bin. Remember each liquid should be 3 ounces/100 ml or less, right? There shouldn't be any loose liquids in your carry-on bag. If you have "medically necessary" liquids or baby food, in most countries, those can be outside of your plastic bag allowance, but you must notify a screening officer. You are now approaching the screening area and it is a good idea to approach it in an organized manner. If you require more than 1 bin make sure you put your shoes and coat in the first bin along with your personal bag. This ensures you can be getting ready prior to the final bin arriving. It is more common now for people to carry laptop computers o to the plane. Take the laptop out of the carry case and put the case in the first bin so you can be ready to put the laptop back with the minimum of fuss. If it's going to take you a long time to put your shoes back on, collect all of your belongings and move to the side so the line doesn't get jammed up. There are usually a few chairs against a wall nearby where you can sit down and put yourself back together. You're going to read this, and next time you travel, you're going to move through that security checkpoint with a plan... and they'll think you're an expert traveler no matter whether you travel often or not.
