TSA Plans $18 Fee for Non-REAL ID Flyers

TSA Plans to Charge $18 Fee for Alternative Airport ID Verification: North Carolinians and other non-REAL ID holders may soon face a new fee for using an automated, technology-driven service to verify their identity at airport security checkpoints. The TSA aims to replace the current call center process with this new system, which will use biometrics and personal information to confirm identities and ensure travelers are not on watch lists. The proposed fee is intended to cover the costs of developing and maintaining the new system, with the first $18 charge valid for ten days of travel. Refunds will not be provided if a traveler is denied access to the airport. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story. AI powered.
