The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced that TSA PreCheck has surpassed 20 million members, marking a new record since the trusted traveler program was launched just over a decade ago.
The Department of Homeland Security's trusted traveler programs—including U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Global Entry program—now boast more than 40 million members.
"More travelers than ever are using TSA PreCheck because of its value, ease and efficiency," TSA Administrator David Pekoske said in a statement.
"TSA PreCheck continues to be one of our most innovative risk-based security solutions, providing the benefit of shorter wait times of under 10 minutes, greater checkpoint efficiency and improved security. Additionally, the cost of TSA PreCheck continues to go down for both new enrollments and renewals. The consistent growth of the TSA PreCheck program is a testament to its popularity and success."
TSA PreCheck recently expanded with four new airlines and is available at more than 200 airports across the U.S.
Travelers can visit TSA.gov/PreCheck to begin their enrollment for less than $80 for a five-year membership.
