Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced on Thursday that the TSA will open security lanes dedicated to families and military service members.
Families on the Fly" will create dedicated security lines for families with small children and give families a $15 discount for TSA pre-check enrollment, Noem said at a press conference at Nashville International Airport.
The new policy has already begun a pilot program at an airport in Orlando, Florida, home to Disney World, Noem added.
This means that when families come into our airports and enter our TSA security checkpoints, they will have dedicated lanes specific for families, Noem said. Theyll be expanded areas that will give them the benefit of recognizing that they have children with them, and will help make sure that we have the ability to take care of them and their families as they go through this expedited process with their kiddos.

(92,925 posts)Did she dress up as a stewardess today or as a pilot! She loves her costumes for these events.
I also saw that she banned Rep Justin Jones from the event today. An event that happened in his district! She knew he would ask her questions.
Tennessee state Representative Justin Jones was removed from the news conference of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Thursday before the secretary arrived. Jones said he had come to ask Noem what happened to his constituents who were arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement during a recent weeklong operation in Nashville.
