Passengers are also encouraged to wear facial protection while passing through checkpoints.
As the coronavirus crisis continues, passengers are also encouraged to wear facial protection while passing through checkpoints, though they may be asked to "momentarily" lower their face masks for identity verification purposes during the screening process.
Moving forward, the TSA is contemplating further changes to its security screening system, to limit physical interactions and reduce risk amid the pandemic. In one example, Plexiglas barriers have been installed on podiums used by TSA agents at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to further protect both employees and the public.
