TSA launches remote screening pilot program at Boston Logan International Airport

On June 1, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) launched its latest initiative to enhance the traveler experience under the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Mullin: a first-in-the-nation remote screening option for passengers flying out of Boston Logan International Airport.

In partnership with the Massachusetts Port Authority, TSA has introduced this innovative pilot program with an inaugural remote terminal in Framingham, Massachusetts. Passengers flying out of Boston Logan on JetBlue or Delta flights between 5:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. are currently eligible for this new experience.

PhotoGov Review 2026: Is This the Best Professional Passport Photo Service Online?

Getting a passport photo rejected isn’t just frustrating — in 2026, it can mean weeks of delays and a resubmission fee on top of an already expensive application process. Since the U.S. State Department tightened enforcement in late 2025, banning any photo altered by digital tools or filters, the stakes for choosing the right service have gone up considerably.

How Teterboro Airport Became the Centre of Private Flight in the Northeast

Just 12 miles from bustling Midtown Manhattan, beyond the flow of the Hudson and hidden away from the sprawling terminals of New York’s commercial airports, sits a 100-year-old airport that quietly gets on with business. Surprisingly, this airport is the engine that powers business in New York: Teterboro Airport.

This isn’t where you come to catch your flight to a family vacation or hop onto a cross-country route. There are no commercial terminals here and no accompanying TSA lines snaking the length of city blocks, no overloaded departure boards…not at this airport. Teterboro has become a hub for private air travel: both those who wish to book private jet travel and those who own their own private aircraft move through its halls on a daily basis. This now antique airport is the undisputed hub of private aviation in the entire Northeastern part of the United States. The question is, how did this come to be?
