APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) – People have an opportunity to start getting through airport security a bit faster.
Appleton International Airport is hosting a TSA PreCheck enrollment event May 1-5.
TSA Precheck is an expedited screening program that allows enrolled travelers to get through screening without removing shoes, lights outerwear, and belts when using the PreCheck lane. It also keeps certain liquid containers from being opened and laptops from being checked.
PreCheck lanes are offered at more than 180 airports and through at least 30 airlines nationwide.
TSA PreCheck certification costs $85 and is valid for five years. That fee can be paid via credit card, money order, company check, or certified/cashier’s check.
Anyone interested in attending the Appleton event can register for a ten-minute appointment at https://www.tsa.gov/. Walk-ins are also accepted.
People need to complete an online application and then bring proof of identity and U.S. citizen documentation to the appointment.
Free parking will be available in the airport’s short-term lot for those participating in the screening.
Applicants do not need to be a ticketed passenger to participate since the screenings will be held before security in the airport’s conference room.
