If TSA PreCheck has zero fans, it means we’re dead. After all, it’s basically a Lightning Lane for airport security. Folks with TSA PreCheck get to skip the standby lines at airport security, all while skipping some of the other tasks typically required at security.
TSA PreCheck Touchless Identity Solution
But, what if we told you that there’s an even EASIER version of TSA PreCheck that barely requires you to lift a finger? Well, there is, and it’s a total game-changer.
It’s true — there’s an even faster way to get through airport security than just with regular TSA PreCheck! Our fearless leader, AJ, recently flew through LaGuardia Airport in New York City and used the Touchless Identity Solution option. This is a relatively new service being offered that can save you even more time — not many people know about it or are using it yet, which means the lines for this option are pretty short (or at least, they were when AJ flew through LaGuardia!).
