TSA PreCheck is an expedited screening program that makes risk assessments about passengers prior to their arrival at an airport checkpoint. In general, security screenings ahead of most domestic and select international flights for PreCheck members are often streamlined and more convenient. That’s partly because members do not have to remove belts, shoes or lightweight jackets at TSA security screenings. Also, large electronics like laptops and tablets can stay in their cases or carry-on bags.
