## Resource

For the first time in over 20 years, you might be able to walk your loved ones right to the gate again—thanks to a new pilot program called Gateside, now testing at 13 airports. Tied to TSA PreCheck, it lets eligible non-flyers snag a free one-day pass to bypass regular security and meet someone at their departure or arrival gate. It’s a nostalgic nod to pre-9/11 days when families and friends gathered at gates for last-minute hugs, drinks, or bites. With improved screening tech, officials believe safety can still be maintained while restoring some of that human connection. To qualify, you need a TSA PreCheck membership and a Known Traveler Number—but you still go through full screening. The big question? Can these upgraded systems handle the extra foot traffic without slowing things down? Officials are watching closely as they consider expanding this welcome-back feature.
