Judy in Texas 150 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 When I flew out of DFW they told me I had been selected for TSA-precheck. I didn't have to take off my jacket or shoes, empty my pockets, take out my quart bag of liquids. It happened again today when leaving Orlando. The TSA agent showed me where it said TSA pre (check mark) on my boarding pass beside my name. When I looked it up on line it said some airlines are asking their frequent flyers if they want to opt in. I don't remember being asked but it surely did speed up screening, especially at MCO. http://www.tsa.gov/tsa-precheck/tsa-precheck-faqs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Judy in Texas 150 Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I want pre-check?Well... It does mean that the airlines share yet more of my information with the government; but, the regular security check line at MCO was all the way back into the main area and there were only three people in front of me in the pre-check line. It was nice not having to take my shoes and coat off and not having to go through the body scan machine so some pervert can sit in a room looking at all of the images. I expect as more people sign up for it, the lines will shift from the full screening lines to the pre-check lines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arthuruscg 34 Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I wish all military personnel were automatically signed up for precheck, since they know our life story anyways. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They list airports that accept military in pre checks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BRDof3...Rob 40 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Think they just put people at random. My wife was given that opportunity just this morning but I had to go through the old fashioned way. Neither of us fly more than every other year at the most.

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I wish they would pick me.... I fly... alot!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 I am now signed up for Pre-Check..... Wow, what a difference!!! Don't have to undress, or pull all my carryons apart. Just throw the bag on the belt, and walk through the metal detector.... Absolutely well worth it!, especially at IAD! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duane 150 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'm getting ready to sign up for this as well... for as much as I fly and for all of the crap that carry, it will be well worth the fee and 2 1/2 to 3 hr drive that I have to travel to get certified.... One would think that in the Raleigh/Durham area that there would be a place closer than Wilmington or Morehead City to get checked.... Oh well, I love to drive and it will be a good "mind clearing" trip... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Your drive will be definitely longer than your appointment!! My appointment took all of 5 minutes. Fill out the form online ahead of time!! I also had to go a bit out of town to register. Mine was at a truck driving school out in the boonies. Although I have seen TSA Pre-Check registration centers "inside security" at major airports, but never had the time while at an actual airport. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
