Gateside Lets Non-Fliers Reunite at Airports | Salt Lake City News

For the first time in over 20 years, non-fliers can finally experience airport security again—thanks to Gateside, a new program testing at 13 airports. It lets eligible TSA PreCheck members get a free one-day pass to reach the gate and say goodbye or hello to loved ones. Remember when families walked you to the plane? After 9/11, that vanished as security turned airports into military zones. Now, with advanced tech making screening faster, the vibe is shifting back toward warmth and connection. But there’s a catch: you still go through full security checks, and adding more people could slow down lines. The TSA says expansion is coming soon.
