DHS Puts Families First with "Families on the Fly" Campaign
WASHINGTON, July 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- US Department of Homeland Security Secretary Noem announced the 'Families on the Fly' campaign Thursday, the latest TSA initiative designed to enhance hospitality for families during the airport security screening experience.
'DHS and TSA are committed to making the airport security experience as smooth and stress-free as possible for traveling families,' said Senior Official Performing the Duties of Deputy TSA Administrator Adam Stahl. 'The Families on the Fly campaign, being rolled out at select airports, aims to mitigate the unique challenges families face when traveling and minimize stress while maintaining the highest level of security.'
'Families on the Fly' benefits for families include:
Current participating airports include: Orlando International (MCO) and Charlotte-Douglas International (CLT). Planned expansions will be coming to John Wayne Orange County Airport (SNA) and Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu.
This initiative is one of several TSA has launched to improve hospitality at its 435 airports located throughout the country. 'Families on the Fly' will roll out at select airports including Charleston International Airport (CHS), Jacksonville International (JAX), Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport (PVD), Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU), and Tampa International Airport (TPA) with additional airports slated for addition in the coming months. Earlier this summer, TSA launched the 'Serve with Honor, Travel with Ease' campaign designed to recognize the service and sacrifice of military and uniformed service members and their families. TSA, in coordination with its industry partners, introduced expedited access for military members in TSA PreCheck lanes at select airports near larger military installations. This included dedicated screening lanes, or front-of-line privileges, designed to minimize wait times and improve convenience for service members.
TSA reminds travelers that military personnel and civilian Department of Defense (DOD) staff are eligible for free TSA PreCheck by using their DOD ID number as their Known Traveler Number when booking travel. Children 12 and under may accompany service members and DOD staff in TSA PreCheck lanes without restriction. Minors 13-17 must be on the same airline reservation with a TSA PreCheck-eligible parent or guardian to receive expedited screening.

In addition, the TSA Cares program remains available for veterans and wounded warriors, providing personalized assistance through the screening process and ensuring a dignified travel experience.
TSA encourages all travelers to prepare for airport security screening, particularly during the busy summer travel season. For more detailed information, visit tsa.gov.

Travis Kelce Might Have Dropped a Convincing Clue He's Engaged to Taylor Swift
Speculating about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship is almost like another sport at this point. Their relationship has been in the spotlight ever since the singer's relationship with actor Joe Alwyn fizzled and she started dating NFL superstar Kelce. The fact that the two were spotted together multiple times, and that Swift famously attended a lot of Kelce's games, made it even easier for fans to invest. Swift had, after all, been pretty famously private in her previous relationship. The two have been taking some time away from the public eye recently. In fact, one source told Us Weekly that the two were eager to experience a more 'normal life' after the Eras Tour and the Super Bowl. Another source added that the couple 'needed time for themselves,' explaining, 'Taylor and Travis are doing great, and they're still very much together and in love. They're just taking a break from the public eye.' More from StyleCaster Travis Kelce Compares Himself to a 'Hooker' in His Relationship With Taylor Swift-'I'm Wearing Nothing...' Taylor Swift's Rumored Romance Confirmed Whether 'Wildest Dreams' Is Really About Him: 'I'm Going to Be Honest...' Related: Who has Travis Kelce dated? What has happened during that time outside of the public eye? Well, people have been speculating that the two might get engaged for a while, and now eagle-eyed fans think they've got proof that the two have finally taken that step. Kelce posted on Instagram, sharing pictures of what he called his 'adventures this offseason,' and of course, a lot of them featured his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. One particular one saw the two of them sitting at what looked like a restaurant. In that picture, both Kelce's lock screen and Swift's lock screen are visible. And the contents are interesting, to say the least. Swift had a picture of what looked to be the pair's recent trip to Italy, as Kelce was wearing the same shirt as pictures taken of them on a boat. Kelce's lockscreen, meanwhile, also featured the two of them, but in that picture, Swift seems to be holding up her hand. You know, as you would do if you were showing off an engagement ring. Could it be? And would we really find out this way? The two have been dealing with engagement rumors for years now, so we're not going to start discounting them now. In May, a source told The Daily Mail, 'Everyone is just waiting for Travis to ask her parents for her hand in marriage, her parents will say yes, and they can't wait for them to get engaged. Nothing seems to be imminent, but it will 100 percent happen. Taylor and Travis are treating this relationship as their last relationship, and when they get engaged, when they get married and when they start a family, it will be exactly when it is meant to happen.' Now, the question of whether it did happen now, or if Swift is perhaps playing around with Kelce's Super Bowl ring or something more innocuous, remains unanswered. But there's certainly a feeling that, if the two aren't engaged at this exact point in time, we probably won't have to wait too long before the news is yes. And with a new NFL season about to start, sooner rather than later would make sense.
