TSA Keeps Gateside Airport Access Program Limited to 13 Airports
What happened
The Transportation Security Administration confirmed that its Gateside airport access program remains limited to 13 airports nationwide. This contradicts a previous announcement by Tulsa International Airport that the program would expand to 314 locations. A TSA spokesperson stated the program is currently in an operational assessment phase, evaluating participation levels and operational impacts.

Why it matters
The Gateside program allows approved PreCheck members to enter secure areas of participating airports without a boarding pass. By maintaining a limited rollout, the TSA is restricting the expansion of this access benefit that was previously anticipated across many locations.
