Yup, with a pilot program that has TSA blessings non-travel visitors will be able to meet travelers at arrival gates or go with travelers after check-in as they go through security to a departure gate. Visitors will still need to check-in with the airline and be issued a visitors pass to use at TSA check points as they enter and exit a gate area. Part of the “thinking” is these visitors will spend money at airport shops, restaurants, and bars to help increase concession revenue. We’ll see how long this idea flies!!!
