What Is the TSA PreCheck Program?
Launched in 2013, TSA PreCheck is a Trusted Traveler program of the Department of Homeland Security designed to expedite airport security screening for enrolled travelers. Enrolled passengers can get through security checkpoints without being required to remove their shoes, belts and light jackets. They can also keep their electronic devices and 3-1-1 compliant liquids in carry-on bags.
There are more than 20 million active members in the TSA PreCheck program, which has lanes at over 200 airports in the U.S. More than 90 airlines participate in the initiative.
