TSA Indefinitely Suspends Expansion of Non-Flyer Gate Access Program
Scott McCartney and Christina Cassotis discussed that the TSA has indefinitely suspended its planned rollout of a program allowing non-flyers without boarding passes into secure areas, keeping the initiative limited to the current 13 test airports.
“Now the agency says it has indefinitely suspended the rollout, though it will continue to allow it at the 13 airports that have it now.”
