TSA announces gender-neutral screening process

To mark Transgender Day of Visibility, the Transportation Security Administration announced a new gender-neutral screening process for transgender, nonbinary and gender-nonconforming airline passengers at airport checkpoints. The TSA is also updating the TSA PreCheck program to include an “X” gender marker option on its application. “These combined efforts will greatly enhance airport security and screening procedures for all,” said TSA Administrator David Pekoske.
