Free TSA Precheck for disabled Veterans

Abbie Bennett - 10/13/2019

The Senate passed a bill to provide free TSA PreCheck benefits to thousands of disabled veterans this week.

The bipartisan legislation would provide disabled veterans with the benefit, which usually costs $85, and makes navigating airport security easier.

TSA Precheck allows travelers to skip long security lines and process through security more easily without removing items such as shoes, jackets, belts, laptops, liquids, etc. The bill aims to extend that benefit to the about 70,000 amputee, 100,000 paralyzed, and 130,000 blind veterans in the U.S.Active duty service members, National Guard and members of the Reserves already have free access to PreCheck
