TSA PreCheck® for Uniformed Service Members

Serve with Honor, Travel with Ease

TSA PreCheck benefits to enhance the travel experience for those who serve our country and their families.

TSA PreCheck is a program that allows low-risk travelers to enjoy a secure and efficient security screening experience in dedicated TSA PreCheck lanes. TSA PreCheck passengers keep their shoes, belts, and light jackets on and are not required to remove laptops or 3-1-1 liquids from their carry-on bags. TSA is committed to enhancing the airport security experience for members of the military community and their families.
