TSA may allow full water bottles through airport security for some travelers
The Transportation Security Administration is considering a new policy that would allow passengers to bring full water bottles through airport security checkpoints. The proposal would initially apply to TSA PreCheck members, a group of travelers who undergo background checks and pay a fee for expedited security screening. The agency is testing this change through a pilot program. Currently, passengers are generally required to have empty water bottles when passing through security.
