Denver International Airport's new west security checkpoint opens for passengers

Details: The checkpoint operates from 4am-7:30pm daily with three separate entrances categorized by traveler group:

• West security 1 (behind the United ticketing lobby): For standard passengers.
• West security 2 (near door 606): For restricted access, including DEN Reserve, military, and passengers with disabilities.
• West security 3 (near door 600): For TSA PreCheck and CLEAR customers.

Be smart: All passengers using the new checkpoint can leave their laptops and other large electronics in their carry-on, even without TSA PreCheck, thanks to 3D imaging.

What's next: DIA's east security checkpoint is slated to open by the end of 2025, with another 17 lanes.

• The Great Hall Project will be completed by the end of 2027, airport officials say.
