Party going through airport security at separate times?

While I have never been in exactly this scenario I have passed through security three times while my wife–on the same reservation–only passed through once. I simply took my boarding pass with me when I exited the secure area and used it to get back in.

(Major flight delay, I went out once to find out what was going on and once for food as there was nothing in that terminal that I wanted to eat.)

A slight issue at security as I had no baggage at all (why lug it around? It was sitting with my wife) and anything unusual draws their interest. When I explained the situation they were happy.

No, TSA is not Immigration. They’re just there to X-ray you and all your stuff to make sure you’re not sneaking weapons onto a plane. As such, they don’t care if your group is together or apart.

With Immigration, it can help because the presence of the group members reinforces each other’s story and lends credibility. And it’s more efficient because some questions can be asked once instead of each person over and over.

There is no requirement that your entire party go through TSA together. Everyone needs their own boarding pass and ID and can go through security without the rest of the group.
