Yeah reading threads here over the years you'd see the "remember when you could do this" nostalgic messages about this.
The they make it happen and people are bitching

Been many years since they asked for boarding pass at tsa. Can't remember the last airport that did.

Everything is tied to your ID

I’ve flown a lot this year out of NOLA and BR. I’m not sure I’ve been asked for my boarding pass once at TSA, just my ID

BHM may not ask for a boarding pass specifically, but you’re not getting through TSA without an ID linked to an active boarding pass. BHM is also not on the Gateside program list.


You can get through security without a boarding pass in Bham. What I said is true.

Every other airport I frequent, and there are many, asks for a boarding pass at TSA security.

Dam, I thought “non-flyers” was a code word for a group of people

You must fly through lota of regional airports. CAT scanners apparently installed at 175 airports by 2022 and continued expansion since then. After the change to CAT they no longer ask for boarding pass.

So it's been a minute

Big win for businesses selling shitty hamburgers for $30 near the gates.

Great for couples when one is flying alone w/ multiple kids under the age of four. Would have loved to go all the way to the gate with them. Hope that's what it is for, along with disability assitance, etc.

pre 9/11 my dad was in auditing and flew a handfull of times for work during the year. I remember going to the airport as a kid and meeting him at the terminal - thought it was the coolest thing ever, like in the delta commercial at the time.

Shut the frick up. You clearly spend very little time in airports if you don’t understand why this would potentially be a huge pain in the arse for even semi frequent flyers.

That being said, I’ve got zero issues with it for disability assistance, elder care and like a poster said, helping a spouse out that’s flying with young children. Those instances do not occur often enough to be a problem.

You older posters reminiscing about your old days are failing to realize how rare air travel was for many people in your time. In this greyhound of the skies era, this could potentially be terrible.

Don't think many people will pay parking to meet someone inside of the terminal.

Plus large majority of people are taking Uber from the airport even for work.
