Who wants to spend their free time waiting in a long security line? No one. Have you signed up for TSA Pre✓® yet? No joke – it saves you time and stress. It might look a bit confusing at first, but no question, it is worth putting in the effort to make your traveling experience easier. Most of us at AirlineReporter have already signed up, and it has not only saved us time, but also kept us from missing flights!
With TSA Pre✓®, you can:
– Speed through dedicated security lanes
– Leave your shoes, jacket, and belt on
– Leave your computer and 3-1-1 liquids in your bag

The IdentoGO Center staff will capture your fingerprints to submit with your application to the TSA for approval. Your application is only $85 and is good for five years. That’s just $17/year — one of the best deals in travel! Applications are generally processed within two-three weeks, and you will receive notification by mail with your Known Traveler Number (KTN). Use this number when booking all future travel, and then TSA Pre✓® will be automatically printed on your boarding passes.
