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.

Coming soon: TSA PreCheck for qualifying disabled veterans
TSA is working with the Department of Veterans Affairs to offer free TSA PreCheck to certain disabled veterans under the Veterans Expedited TSA Screening Safe Travel Act. Veterans who will be eligible for the free enrollment include those who have a service-connected disability that resulted in:
- Loss, or loss of use of an extremity;
- Full or partial paralysis; or
- Permanent blindness.
As a result of the disability, they require the use of a wheelchair, prosthetic limb, or other assistive device to aid with mobility. They also must be in the patient enrollment system of the VA.
Information on how to enroll for free will be announced soon.
