Gateside returns: TSA PreCheck members can access gates without tickets at select airports

The TSA is reviving gate access for eligible TSA PreCheck members who don’t hold tickets, allowing them to pass security and enter gate areas to welcome travelers and use airport services. The program, called Gateside by TSA PreCheck, is free but requires online application 1–3 days before travel and TSA approval; passes are valid for one calendar day with allowed reentries. It currently operates at 13 airports, including LAX, Dallas/Fort Worth, Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City, with plans to expand, and also permits members of other trusted-traveler programs with a Known Traveler Number to apply.

Gateside by TSA PreCheck Opens Post-Security Access at 13 U.S. Airports

TSA is piloting Gateside by TSA PreCheck, a complimentary benefit that lets eligible PreCheck members enter secure post-security areas without a flight to greet someone or spend time during layovers. The pilot covers 13 airports (LIT, CMH, DFW, DTW, IND, LAS, LAX, AZA, OKC, OMA, SLC, SAN, ICT) with plans to add more. Access is arranged via login.gov through a Gateside portal; applications must be completed no earlier than 3 days and no later than 1 day before the requested visit date and are available only to TSA PreCheck members or Known Traveler Numbers. The program is currently in the pilot phase and aims for broader rollout if successful.

One of 14 airports chosen, the program requires enrollment in TSA PreCheck and a Known Traveler Number, and could expand to other airports if successful—offering a new option for gate-side greetings, including LDS missionary homecomings.

Boston Tests Remote Security: 22 Miles from Logan Returns Checkpoint Convenience

Boston Logan is running a June–August pilot that screens Delta and JetBlue passengers at a remote Framingham facility 22 miles from the airport, allowing bag check, TSA screening, and a shuttle directly to the airside gate with PreCheck accepted, in a bid to ease congestion by moving security away from the terminal.

Noem warns of renewed TSA PreCheck pause amid DHS shutdown

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem warned that, without funding for DHS during the partial government shutdown, TSA PreCheck could be paused again and security lanes prioritized for the busiest travelers, while Customs and Border Protection’s Global Entry remains paused; she said the department would not reverse the decision but would set staffing priorities, noting PreCheck and Global Entry were not paused during last year’s 43‑day shutdown.

Global Entry halted as partial shutdown lingers; PreCheck remains operational

The Department of Homeland Security will suspend the Global Entry program for the duration of the partial government shutdown, while TSA PreCheck remains open after earlier plans to shut it down were dropped. DHS will adjust operations on a case-by-case basis due to staffing limits. The move comes as a major East Coast winter storm causes flight disruptions, with reports of longer lines at some airports and travel industry criticism of the shutdown’s impact on travelers.
