A:
When leaving under voluntary departure, you should not experience significant issues with TSA security screening. The TSA's primary focus is on safety and security protocols rather than immigration status.
However, it's crucial to bring all your required travel and voluntary departure documentation with you to the airport. This includes your passport, voluntary departure order, and any other paperwork from immigration authorities. Having these documents readily available will help ensure smooth processing through security.
Keep in mind that while TSA agents handle security screening, they don't typically deal with immigration matters. Your main interaction regarding your departure status will be with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials. For peace of mind, arrive at the airport with plenty of extra time before your flight, and consider checking in with CBP in advance to confirm any specific procedures you need to follow.
