There really is not a hard and true method of avoiding delays at an airport. It is important to take this into consideration when planning on how long it will take to check your luggage, get your boarding pass, clear security, and find your gate. However, one way to minimize delays is to pack correctly. When in doubt, always call the airport ahead of time. The list of banned items is constantly changing. Carry-on luggage generally presents the most problems. Make sure you only have two bags per passenger. Among the many things that you cannot bring onboard a plane are hammers, screwdrivers, scissors, guns, and pepper spray.

Be ready for a random search regardless of howcarefully you have packed. The most common items that are confiscated are scissors, pocketknives, and mace. Security will not reimburse you for confiscated items.
