PreCheck May Allow Full Water Bottles at Security with New CT Scanners

The TSA is reportedly considering letting some PreCheck travelers keep full water bottles during security checks thanks to new 3-D CT scanners that can detect liquids; the change isn’t confirmed yet and would likely apply only to PreCheck passengers through the Gateside program at about 13 airports, while the standard 3-1-1 rule would still apply to others. Changes would be announced through official channels, and PreCheck membership (up to $85 for five years) would expedite the screening process.

Post-9/11 travel security loosens as gateside access expands and screening tech improves

Decades after 9/11, the U.S. is easing some traveler restrictions (shoes can stay on; liquids rules persist) while expanding screening tech and programs. New scanners let travelers leave liquids in their bags, and options like TSA PreCheck and Clear offer expedited screening. TSA also launched a Gateside program allowing eligible travelers to access gate areas without a boarding pass at 13 airports, though not universally available and applications take a few days. The agency scrapped its TSA Gold+ privatization plan in favor of a screening-partnership approach, amid ongoing security challenges from AI, cybersecurity, and drones.

TSA to pilot gate access for trusted travelers at select airports

The TSA is piloting gate access beyond security for trusted travelers (PreCheck members and Known Traveler Numbers) at 13 airports, including LAX and Dallas/Fort Worth; applicants must apply online 1–3 days before travel, passes are valid for one day with ID required, and reentries are allowed for that day, making airport send-offs and layovers easier while spontaneous gate arrivals remain unlikely.

9/11's lasting overhaul: from TSA lines to cockpit doors

The article outlines how the 9/11 attacks triggered a sweeping redesign of US air travel security, shifting from generic screening to layered, risk-based measures (including TSA PreCheck), stricter baggage rules (3-1-1 liquids), and broader use of tech like full-body scanners and biometrics. It traces milestones—from the Lockerbie bombing prompting baggage checks, to the 2001 shoe bomber and the 2009 underwear bomber—and notes ongoing evolution toward cockpit protection with retractable gates on new planes, while acknowledging civil-liberties concerns over opaque criteria and watchlists.

FDA PreCheck pilot aims to speed up U.S. drug manufacturing approvals

The FDA has chosen seven companies, including Eli Lilly and Regeneron, to join a PreCheck pilot that lets regulators begin reviewing new manufacturing facilities while they’re under construction, with the goal of catching issues early and potentially shaving up to 14 months from timelines. The program comprises facility readiness guidance and an expedited application submission/inspection process, and targets drugs produced domestically—especially biologics and gene therapies.
