WASHINGTON, D.C.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced that it will expand its TSA expedited screening program to 60 new airports in addition to the existing 40, bringing the total number of airports with TSA Pre✓™ to 100.
These airports are expected to have TSA Pre✓™ lanes at select checkpoints by the end of 2013.
The agency also plans to expand the number of TSA Pre✓™ lanes and availability at the existing 40 airports in the coming weeks.
The expedited screening program allows pre-approved airline travelers to leave on their shoes, light outerwear and belt, keep their laptop in its case and their 3-1-1 compliant liquids/gels bag in a carry-on in select screening lanes. To date, more than 15 million passengers have experienced TSA Pre✓™ since it launched in October 2011.
