Have
you already opted into TSA Pre✓™ but rarely get selected for
expedited screening? Here are some possible reasons why as well as some tips:
- First off, to keep things random and unpredictable for anyone with bad intentions, there are times where you may not be selected for expedited screening.
- TSA Pre✓™ is currently only available for U.S. citizens traveling domestically on a participating airline, out of a participating airport. Click here for the most updated list.
- If you are a member of a CBP Trusted Traveler program, be sure you’re including your PASS ID – found in the top-left corner on the back of your membership card – in the ‘Known Traveler’ field every time you book a flight. If you’re not sure it’s in there, especially if you’re not booking it yourself, you can always call your airline to confirm that your number is on the reservation before you fly.
Bonus Tip: Did you know that kids 12 and under can travel with you through the TSA Pre✓™ lane? If you didn't, now you know! That info might come in handy this summer.

many members who have been opted in by participating airlines. To see if you
