Easier airport gate passes for caregivers
If enacted, TSA would set up a system within 180 days at U.S. airports. Airlines could give up to two gate passes. They would be for parents, guardians, or caregivers with a child or a passenger who needs help. If you have a Known Traveler Number, you could use TSA PreCheck on those passes. For wheelchair users, a caregiver would get a pass only if they are pushing the chair. A minor means under age 18.
