Airport Security Slows Down

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recently disclosed its premium security service has slowed traveler screening.

TSA's new data indicated that in June 2023, 88% of TSA PreCheck® passengers waited less than 5 min.

Previously, TSA PreCheck was averaging over 92% of people passed through airport security quickly.

Furthermore, this performance decrease may not have been related to increased activity.

According to TSA's Passenger Volumes report for late June and July 2023, air travelers only equaled but did not exceed the pre-pandemic activity last seen in 2019.

TSA PreCheck® is currently available at more than 200 airports with 85+ participating airlines nationwide. 'We encourage you to check with your airline before each flight for the most up-to-date information', says the TSA.
