TSA PreCheck Enrollment Event Coming to Yakima Airport

Wouldn't it be nice to have five full years of TSA PreCheck privileges at over 200 airports across the country? I personally hate, detest, despise standing in long ridiculous lines at the airport. It's a waste of precious life minutes in my opinion!

Well, now travelers can do just that by signing up for the TSA PreCheck event coming to the Yakima airport at the end of this month (August). After you are approved, your TSA PreCheck is good for five years.

I'm really thinking about signing up!

Having TSA PreCheck Can Ease Some of Your Travel Headaches

There's nothing like feeling like a VIP when I travel, especially at the airport. I like to take advantage of those exclusive airport lounges, but now that the word is out and everyone knows about it, the lounges have tightened up admission rules. That sucks!

One thing these snobby lounges don't have control over thank goodness, is TSA PreCheck. if you sign up for this service: you won't have to remove your shoes, belt, or light jacket, take out your laptop, or stand in those super long lines with everybody else.

It only takes ten minutes or so to complete the sign up which includes fingerprinting, photos, and documentation checks. A traveler identification number, known as the KTN, will be issued to you (usually within a week).
