PreCheck users also usually go through a traditional metal detector screening machine.<\/p>\n<p>Although PreCheck screening is separate from non-PreCheck screening, sometimes a dedicated TSA PreCheck screening line isn\u2019t available; in this case, you\u2019ll need to use the standard TSA lane. However, even when using the regular security lane, you won\u2019t need to remove your shoes, belt and light jacket.<\/p>\n<p>Note that TSA PreCheck is <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/tsa-precheck-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">available when you depart from more than 250 U.S. airports<\/a>, but you&#8217;ll only get PreCheck access if your airline is one of the 80 airlines that participate in TSA PreCheck.<\/p>\n<h3>How to enroll in TSA PreCheck<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"jsx-19345235 tpg-figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-top:0\" class=\"jsx-185092990 full-width-auto-height-image\"><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;display:block;overflow:hidden;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative\"><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;padding-top:66.69921875%\"\/><img alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%;background-size:cover;background-position:0% 0%;filter:blur(20px);background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAQAAAADCAIAAAA7ljmRAAAACXBIWXMAAAsTAAALEwEAmpwYAAAAMklEQVQImQEnANj\/AOHi5O72\/+Ph5f\/98gCWj5Du5uGssLSMdmkAnpiTup6ONTEqAwAAK1YXSfzYZNkAAAAASUVORK5CYII=&quot;)\"\/><noscript><img alt=\"\" sizes=\"100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2020\/11\/GettyImages-1281131700.jpg?width=640 640w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2020\/11\/GettyImages-1281131700.jpg?width=750 750w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2020\/11\/GettyImages-1281131700.jpg?width=828 828w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2020\/11\/GettyImages-1281131700.jpg?width=1080 1080w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2020\/11\/GettyImages-1281131700.jpg?width=1200 1200w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2020\/11\/GettyImages-1281131700.jpg?width=1920 1920w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2020\/11\/GettyImages-1281131700.jpg?width=2048 2048w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2020\/11\/GettyImages-1281131700.jpg?width=3840 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2020\/11\/GettyImages-1281131700.jpg?width=3840\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/noscript><\/span><\/div><figcaption class=\"jsx-19345235 figcaption\">SCOTT OLSON\/GETTY IMAGES<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To enroll in TSA PreCheck, create<a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=108360X1565867&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fthepointsguy.com%2Fguide%2Fglobal-entry-vs-tsa-precheck&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fttp.dhs.gov%2F%3Futm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dgoogle%26utm_term%3D(not%2520provided)%26utm_content%3Dundefined%26utm_campaign%3D(not%2520set)%26gclid%3Dundefined%26dclid%3Dundefined%26GAID%3D1324008374.1625927684\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> a Trusted Traveler account online<\/a> if you don&#8217;t already have one.
