Gate Access is a travel media brand, sourced directly from industry professionals. Led and created by former TSA officer and social media personality Caleb Harmon-Marshall.
About Gate Access
Launched in 2022, Gate Access is the only travel publication built on insider sourcing. Every edition is informed by the people who actually work in aviation, not corporate press releases or airline talking points.
When TSA changes its screening procedures, when airlines quietly shift their policies, and when gate agents wield leverage that passengers don’t know about, Gate Access readers learn about it from the insiders’ perspective.
The most valuable insights in travel don’t come from press releases; they come from the people doing the work. That belief is what led me to create Gate Access, a travel media brand built on the voices of frontline workers. After being forced to leave my TSA career in 2022 for sharing tips that helped travelers understand their rights at security, I realized something bigger: the public wasn’t getting the full story. So I expanded beyond TSA to cover the entire travel industry — bringing real, behind-the-scenes perspective to the people who need it most.
