TSA recently announced the first application site for its TSA Pre✓™ Application Program at the Indianapolis International Airport. The agency also unveiled the online pre-enrollment program. TSA Pre✓™ is an expedited screening lane program that allows travelers to leave on their shoes, light outerwear and belt, and keep their laptops and authorized liquids in their carryon bag.
Those seeking to enroll may begin their application online and make an appointment before visiting an enrollment center. Travelers must visit an application center to pay the non-refundable $85 application fee and provide required biographic information (name, date of birth, address, etc.), fingerprints and identity and citizenship or immigration documentation. Approval may take up to three weeks.
Over the next few weeks, TSA plans to open additional enrollment centers in the New York City area, the Washington, D.C. metro area and in Los Angeles. By the spring of 2014, the TSA plans to have more than 300 enrollment centers open around the country. TSA Pre-check lanes are now available at more than 100 airports and on nine major U.S. airlines.
