TSA Adds Speedier Check Outs At Several Airports, Hopefully Nationwide
Categories: Industry News | News
As the Transportation Security Administration expands its speedier screening program at airport checkpoints, the agency expects nearly 400,000 travelers to join in the first year.
TSA is expanding Pre-check, which has separate screening lines at 40 airports where travelers can leave on their shoes and keep laptops in their bags. Frequent fliers at specific airlines have participated in Pre-check since late 2011.
