Can media go beyond the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoint and into the gate areas of the terminal to cover stories?
Media may only go beyond the TSA checkpoint if invited to do so by an airline, the TSA or the HAS. Otherwise, only ticketed passengers may go beyond the checkpoint into the gate areas. If someone in the media is a ticketed passenger and goes beyond the checkpoint intending to shoot photos, record video or sound, or get interviews, he/she must still follow the aforementioned procedures to get clearance.
