- To handle the surge, the airport is boosting staff levels, opening ticket counters and TSA checkpoints earlier, and adjusting restaurant hours to align with flight schedules, while also launching a TSA pilot program called Gateside that lets TSA PreCheck travelers meet or see off companions at the gate without a ticket.
