| Sep 5, 2017 at 5:11 | comment | added | reirab | @JetskiS-type Good point. Nearly all U.S. airports used to allow access to the airside (which is the same area for both domestic and international flights) without a boarding pass prior to 9/11. Apparently they are testing allowing this again at some U.S. airports, with Philadelphia being the first. | |

| Sep 5, 2017 at 4:42 | comment | added | Jetski S-type | My city's airport has security through to domestic departure gates without checking for boarding passes, so those who want to see loved ones off at the departure gates or be at the gate when they arrive can do so. For international flights, there is a second stage of security where you do need to show a boarding pass. | |

| Sep 5, 2017 at 4:28 | comment | added | reirab | @Mehrdad Seems like that's becoming more common. It's rare in the U.S., but I've encountered it at Shanghai, in the Philippines, at Tel Aviv, and possibly other places I'm forgetting about. After the incident in Brussels, it doesn't seem like such a joke. | |
| Sep 5, 2017 at 2:05 | comment | added | user541686 | I've been to at least one airport where there was security (kind of a joke) before check-in... before the actual security (the serious one). It might be extremely rare but don't get completely thrown off with slight variations like this. | |
