The Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS) announced that IDEMIA, a TSA enrollment service provider, will have a mobile enrollment station set up on the second curb just outside the terminal. Starting next month, there will be two opportunities to apply for TSA PreCheck.
Here is what we know.
What is TSA PreCheck?
TSA PreCheck expedites the screening process at more than 200 airports across the United States and Nassau, The Bahamas. For all TSA PreCheck travelers, there is no need to remove shoes, 3-1-1 liquids, laptops, light outerwear or belts.
According to the TSA, about 99% of PreCheck passengers wait less than 10 minutes going through security.
