TSA allows gate access for non-ticketed visitors 25 years after 9/11
The Transportation Security Administration is restoring a pre-9/11 practice that permitted people without plane tickets to access airport gates.
The TSA has begun allowing some non-ticketed individuals to access airport gates, marking a reversal of security restrictions that have been in place since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. The move represents an effort to revive practices that were common before the terrorist attacks prompted heightened airport security measures.
The change comes as the nation approaches the 25th anniversary of 9/11 this week. Further details on eligibility criteria and implementation timeline were not specified in the announcement.
