The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recently expanded its Trusted Traveler program, known as PreCheck, to Service members flying out of St. Louis (STL) and Denver (DEN) International airports. Additionally, on March 26, 2013, the program will be implemented at Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI). The highly successful TSA Pre-Check program is currently available at:
• Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT)
• Dulles International Airport (IAD)
• Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL)
• Honolulu International (HNL)
• Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)
• Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA)
Service members, active drilling Reservists, National Guardsmen, and members of the Coast Guard, who present a valid Common Access Card (CAC) at security checkpoints will receive expedited security screening. Eligible Service members do not need to be on official travel or in uniform to take advantage of TSA PreCheck. Family members ages 12 and under traveling with an eligible member can also process through expedited screening. While this program offers expedited screening for Service members, TSA plans to continue applying random and unpredictable screening measures as part of the agency’s layered approach to prevent terrorist from “gaming” the system.
