To avoid delays, and possibly missing your scheduled hearing, it is recommended that you check your pockets, parcels, and your key rings to ensure you have no items that could conceivably be used as a weapon.  Do not overlook items such as pocket knives and fingernail clippers.  You will not be permitted beyond the checkpoint with anything questionable.  Leave these things at home or in your vehicle.  Plan ahead and arrive early and allow time to pass through the security checkpoint.
