TAMPA -- The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) says it will introduce its PreCheck program to Tampa International Airport (TIA) before the end of the year.
Frequent flyers from participating airlines, as well as members of Customs and Border Protection's Trusted Traveler programs, will be eligible to participate. If an eligible passenger is selected for PreCheck processing, he may have a much easier time getting through security.
According to the TSA, PreCheck passengers will not be required to remove their shoes, belt, or jacket; will not have their laptop x-rayed separately; and will not be forced to comply with the TSA's 3-1-1 policy for carry-on liquids.
The TSA says the new program will allow agents to “focus their efforts on passengers the agency knows less about while providing faster screening for travelers who volunteer information about themselves prior to flying.”
