Denver International Airport makes slight changes to security checkpoints
Slight changes to Denver International Airport’s security checkpoints began on Wednesday and aim to alleviate long lines.
The airport in partnership with the Transportation Security Administration added a limited number of TSA PreCheck lanes at the south security checkpoint and standard security at the north checkpoint, according to a news release.
