Security Passes
I'm going to be meeting a friend that I haven't seen in a very long time at Newark Airport in a few weeks. Now what im wondering is, can I get a special pass and go through security and meet them at the gate, or can I only pick them up right outside security/baggage claim?

Hey First_Class_Flyer, I know that an adult can get a security pass to pick up unaccompanied minors in the arrivals lounge, but haven't heard of such courtesy for other scenarios. All you can do is call TSA and ask them. Good luck.

Unfortunately, I do not hold 1K status, or anything close to that actually. I did however call Newark Airport and they explained that I would be able to obtain a gate pass and at the airlines ticket counter and then go through security to meet them. Thanks alot for your help!
