SAVOY, Ill. (WCIA) — If you have been looking for a way to spend less time in airport security lines, enrolling in TSA PreCheck may be the answer. And Willard Airport is going to make your enrollment that much easier.
TSA PreCheck is an expedited screening program that enables identified low-risk air travelers to participate in a faster and more efficient screening experience at airports. TSA reported that 90% of PreCheck passengers waited less than 5 minutes for a screening last month.
With the program, travelers will not need to remove shoes, 3-1-1 liquids, laptops, light outerwear, or belts from their bags during screening, and often will have separate screening lines at the airport.
There is a two-step process to apply for the program.
The first step includes submitting an online application and then scheduling an in-person appointment at an enrollment center. The second step requires you to complete a 10-min in-person appointment that includes fingerprinting for a background check.
This is where Willard Airport steps in.
