TSA to implement gender-neutral screening
The official announcement:And:

TSA Is Changing Its Screening Process to Become More Gender-neutral — Here's How
***
The agency said the new measures — which consist of reducing pat-down screenings and making its TSA PreCheck program more inclusive — will be implemented in the coming months and will aim to make travel better for transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming passengers.

***
To help with its efforts, the TSA is rolling out Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) units, which the agency said are more accurate and will replace the current gender-based AIT system. In the meantime, the TSA said it will update its operating procedure to permit less invasive screening measures "for certain passengers who trigger the AIT scanner in a sensitive area."
