TSA Launches Remote Security Screening Program
On June 1, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) launched its latest initiative, a remote screening option for passengers flying out of Boston Logan International Airport.
In partnership with the Massachusetts Port Authority, TSA has introduced this pilot program with an inaugural remote terminal in Framingham, Massachusetts. Passengers flying out of Boston Logan on JetBlue or Delta flights between 5:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. are currently eligible for this new experience.
Instead of dealing with traffic at the airport, congestion at the checkpoint, and limited parking, these passengers can instead park at Framingham, check in, go through security, and take a bus directly to the secure side of their terminal.
Tickets for the Framingham remote screening experience are on sale at massport.com now for $9, and children under 18 board the secure bus for free when traveling with a ticketed adult. Parking at Framingham is available for only $7 a day.
TSA plans to roll out this pilot program at more remote passenger screening options nationwide. Other current remote screening locations are located at Los Angeles, Atlanta, and JFK International Airports. Visit TSA’s website for more information on TSA’s remote security screening program.
