TSA Weighs Allowing Non-Passengers Past Airport Security Again

Since September 11th, the federal government has mandated that only ticketed passengers should be allowed to go past the security checks at airports. This is a disappointment to many loved ones who want to say hello or goodbye at the airport gate. The Transportation Security Administration is now considering relaxing the rules slightly, starting with Pittsburgh International Airport. The fact that the airport has a huge shopping mall on the other side of the security checks is not a coincidence; sales have fallen off sharply since the new security rules, and Pittsburgh is eager to get more folks wandering the airport's hallways again.
