TSA PreCheck pilot lets members escort guests without tickets at 13 airports
The Transportation Security Administration announced that its Gateside by TSA PreCheck pilot now lets eligible PreCheck members clear security and proceed to gate areas without a boarding pass at 13 airports, and the agency said it plans to expand the program. The pilot was first rolled out at Los Angeles International and San Diego International airports, where it initially allowed members and other Known Traveler Number holders to move through security without a ticket. Subsequent reports said the program was extended to a total of 13 U.
S. airports, enabling members to bring non-ticketed guests into the post-screening terminal.
