“The TSA has opened up enrollment in its ‘Precheck’ DHS Trusted Traveler program to anyone who wants to join — and pay the $85 fee for five years participation. As a Trusted Traveler, you are eligible to use the presumably-shorter airport security lines and you are exempt from removing your shoes, belt, light jacket, your 3-1-1 bag for fluid containers and taking your laptop out of your carry-on baggage. To enroll, you have to be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident who has not been convicted of serious felonies. The only active enrollment center is at the Indianapolis airport, but TSA plans to open three more by the end of the year and ultimately up to 300.”
