"We want OAK to become a meaningful experience for all of our visitors, not just a curbside drive-by experience," Kristi McKenney, Port of Oakland executive director, said in a statement. "The OAK Guest Pass allows families to spend more precious time with their loved ones as they see them off on their next adventure or welcome them home from one." Guest passes must be reviewed and approved by the Transportation Security Administration to receive a visitor security clearance.

San Francisco plans to launch a similar guest pass program, and airports in San Diego and Palm Springs have already done so, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Anyone seeking an OAK Guest Pass must file an online application with the Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport that asks for their date of birth, gender, and full legal name and asks them to scan their passport or state-issued ID. The Transportation Security Administration then reviews each application before granting approval.
