   These Tips Will Get You Through TSA Faster 
   
   Breaking with a practice that began after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Pittsburgh International Airport will soon allow non-ticketed patrons past its security checkpoints, NBC News reported. 
   
   The airport, getting back to the "good-old days" of air travel, will let non-flyers access inside gates, shops, restaurants and artwork year-round. With approval from the Transportation Security Administration, the change will take effect Sept. 5. 
   
   Non-flyers will have to check in at a special desk, show a valid photo I.D., have their name checked against a "no fly" list and then, just like regular flyers, go through security. 
   
   While the TSA said it supports Pittsburgh's change, it noted that no additional staff has been hired for the change. It also said there are no plans to expand the program.

   The union representing flight attendants at American Airlines is criticizing Pittsburgh International Airport's decision to allow non-flyers to pass through security checkpoints to access the airside terminal's shops, restaurants and gates. 
   
   Bob Ross, national president of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, said the change will decrease airport safety and lead to longer security lines, causing flyers to miss their flights. 
   
   “Allowing the non-flying public to go through security at the Pittsburgh International Airport for the sole purpose of shopping is a terrible precedent and an ill-conceived decision,” Ross said in a news release Friday. 
   
   The airport is the first in the country to allow non-flyers to access areas beyond security checkpoints, according to the Transportation Security Administration. Access to those areas was prohibited after the 9/11 terror attacks. 
   
   “Personally, I'm stunned by the timing of this decision,” Ross said in the release. “Days prior to the anniversary of 9/11 is when we should be reminding the public of the need to remain vigilant, not sending the message that the airport is no different than their local mall.”

target: – Pittsburgh International Airport is bringing back a tradition that was banned after 9/11: letting people without tickets go through security to the airside part of the terminal. The airport will allow non-flyers airside to shop, dine, or say goodbye to loved ones at the gate as of Tuesday, with the approval of the Transportation Security Administration, reports NBC. Pittsburgh is the first airport to allow this since 9/11, and non-flyers will have to go through the same security checkpoints as travelers. They will also have to go to a special desk to get a "myPITpass," which will involve producing a photo ID and being checked against no-fly lists, reports the New York Daily News. Christina Cassotis, CEO of the Allegheny County Airport Authority, says people have been asking about access to shopping and dining at the airport for years. Bob Ross, president of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, however, says the change will lead to longer security lines and decreased safety, reports the Tribune-Review. "Allowing the non-flying public to go through security ... for the sole purpose of shopping is a terrible precedent and an ill-conceived decision," he said in a statement. The TSA says there are no plans for similar programs at other airports.
