TSA PreCheck (branded as TSA Pre✓) is a trusted traveler program initiated in December 2013 and administered by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration that allows selected members of select frequent flyer programs, members of Global Entry, Free and Secure Trade, NEXUS, and SENTRI, members of the US military, and cadets and midshipmen of the United States service academies[1][2] to receive expedited screening for domestic and select international itineraries.
[8] TSA does not issue an ID card like Global Entry, NEXUS, and SENTRI do.
[10] TSA says that PreCheck is not guaranteed every flight, as passengers are subject to random exclusions.
[9] Furthermore, passengers may be disqualified or suspended from PreCheck for violations of federal transportation security regulations.
Citing high travel demand, TSA announced that children aged between 13 and 17 would be able to accompany a parent or guardian through the PreCheck security lines as long as they are all under the same reservation, and the parent or guardian has PreCheck linked on their reservation.
