An item that is not listed is not mentioned in the official pages we checked. Each row links to the page its rule came from.
Bag policy in detail
The bag policy entry says bags smaller than 10 by 6 by 2 inches, or clear bags smaller than 14 by 14 by 6 inches, may be screened and enter at any entrance. Non-clear bags larger than 10 by 6 by 2 but not exceeding 14 by 14 by 6 inches must be x-ray screened in the designated lanes. No backpack, large duffle or luggage is allowed at any time.
The Diaper Bags entry reads more strictly. It lets you carry wallets, purses, fanny packs and crossbody bags smaller than 10 by 6 by 2 inches, with exceptions for diaper bags up to 14 by 14 by 6 inches and bags needed for medical necessity. The guide says the policy can change without notice and that extra restrictions can apply to specific events.
