TSA Pre✓®
TSA Pre✓® is the U.S. expedited screening program. It allows those passengers, considered as low-risk to the U.S. security, to pass through a smart and fast screening at all the 200 US airports. It allows travelers to pass via the checking points without removing the shoes, belts, jackets or putting out laptops, batteries, and phones from the bags. There is also no need to show any liquids. According to a TSA’s press release, the percentage of travelers passing via the TSA Pre✓® lanes for only 5 minutes is now as much as 94%.

How TSA Pre✓® works?
On the boarding pass, a logo such as TSAPRECHK, TSA PRE, or TSA Pre✓® will indicate if a traveler will have the opportunity to pass an expedited screening with the particular flight.
All members of TSA Pre✓®, including those from 2013 are allowed to renew their subscription. 6 months prior to the expiration date of the membership, the renewal must be done online.
Please remember that the Transportation Security Administration is in charge of ensuring the security of the U.S. citizens and the U.S. airport facilities. To accomplish this, they use both seen and undercover security measures. Therefore, no expedited screening can be guaranteed.
