According to TSA, there will be at least 263 million travelers going through airport security this summer alone. They have a suggestion… Enroll in PreCheck. You get expedited security screening and you do not need to remove your shoes, laptop, liquids, belts, or light jackets.
In April of this year 93% of those going through PreCheck waited less than five minutes.
How do you get PreCheck? It costs $85 for five years, a short application, a 10 minute in-person appointment which includes a background check and fingerprinting. Usually, it only takes a few days to be approved and given your Known Travel Number.
It’s definitely worth it.
