TSA To Reward Some Travelers With Less-Intrusive Screenings

Some airline passengers deemed a low-security risk will be randomly selected for quicker, less intrusive screening beginning this year, based on information they provide when reserving a ticket, according to federal rules published this week.

Unlike the existing PreCheck Program in which fliers sign up for expedited screening after volunteering certain information and paying a fee, the new initiative will apply to all passengers.

The new rules, published Tuesday in the Federal Register, were proposed by the Transportation Security Administration and will take effect following a public comment period that ends Oct. 13.
