"TSA Pilot Would Offer Ads at Airport Security Checkpoints"

Advertising in security checkpoints will be coming to an airport near
you under a proposed Transportation Security Administration pilot
program.

Under the one-year pilot program, TSA will allow commercial advertising
at passenger screening checkpoints in select airports throughout the
U.S. and its territories. "Interested parties will have to partner with

advertising," according to a Dec. 21, 2006, posting on the Federal
Business Opportunities web site.
