Event details are as follows:
TSA PreCheck® allows low-risk travelers to get through airport security faster, often without removing items such as shoes, belts, liquids, laptops or light jackets. The Transportation and Security Administration reports that about 99 percent of TSA PreCheck® passengers wait less than 10 minutes in airport security lines. The cost to obtain TSA Pre✓® is $78 and the credential is good for five years.
“We anticipate a very busy year for travel, and enrolling in TSA PreCheck® is a great way to make the journey a little less stressful,” said Galen Grillo, AAA Texas Vice President and General Manager. “It only takes a few minutes to sign up at one of our enrollment events, and the time saved at the airport security line can make a big difference for travelers.”
Walk-ins are welcome. To make an appointment, travelers can visit https://tsaenrollmentbyidemia.tsa.dhs.gov/programs/precheck.
