TSA PreCheck is a trusted traveler program that allows approved passengers to use expedited security lanes at participating U.S. airports. Travelers in PreCheck lanes typically do not need to remove shoes, belts, light jackets, laptops or compliant liquids during screening.

The TSA said its PreCheck airport screening lanes are operational, hours after the DHS said the faster security checkpoint services would be paused.

Being part of just one airport program that speeds you through security may not be enough anymore, especially when events like government shutdowns, major storms, and system outages can create long lines and travel disruptions.

TSA PreCheck Touchless ID takes seconds to set up and can save you from long lines. But you need to enroll before you get to the airport.

Do you want to skip the queues and pass through the Airport security without sweat? Here is how you can enroll in the touchless PreCheck.

DHS reversed course on suspending TSA Precheck, which is used by more than 20 million people, after an outcry from industry groups and passengers.

Wait times at TSA checkpoints escalated Sunday as staffing crunches across the country left passengers standing in long lines to get screened.

The touchless lane uses facial comparison technology to match a live image captured at the checkpoint with the passport photo stored in an airline profile. If everything lines up, a mobile boarding pass labeled "TSA PreCheck Touchless ID" unlocks access to a dedicated lane.
