Airport Gate Pass

The Transportation Security Administration has issued a directive pertaining to military passengers at U.S. airports.  According to Security Directive 1544-01-10w, families of military members may be granted access to sterile concourse areas to escort the military passenger to the gate or to meet a military passenger's inbound arrival at the gate.

The family member can go to the airline that the military member is flying on and receive a pass to go to the gate.  They will be required to have a pass and a photo ID to get through the security checkpoint.  This is a wonderful opportunity for families to stay with the departing military member longer before they depart, or to be able to greet them at the gate upon their arrival.  This is a wonderful change, spread the word.
