New York – The federal Transportation Security Administration has launching a new, faster security lane at John F. Kennedy International Airport for travelers who are willing to submit to pre-screening.

TSA officials demonstrated the new TSA Pre✓ lane JFK on Wednesday.
If a traveler has signed up for the program, he or she may be referred to an expedited lane which could include no longer removing shoes, laptop from bag, light outerwear or jacket, belt, or 3-1-1 compliant bag from carry-on. However, the TSA will continue to use random additional screening, so expedited boarding is not guaranteed.
JFK is the ninth airport in the United States to implement TSA Pre✓.
The program is a partnership with Customs and Border Protection, American Airlines, and Delta Air Lines.

The yungerman in the photo will have to take off his black hat too!
Another nice little perk for the rich. The rest of us get pelvic exams and mammographic lump screening at the hands of the Theater of Security Agency
FYI, at JFK it’s only available for American Airlines. Not yet for Delta
I just got approved and am so excited. But truth is, it’ll make flying just like it used to be 5 yrs ago
#2, don’t be jealous! You don’t have to be rich. The application only costs $100
And even if you don’t want to spend $100, look at the bright side, the ppl that weren’t cheaP and decided to bounce the $100, won’t have to be in front of u in line. So your line will be shorter
What’s to stop a terrorist from signing up?
So you give away your identity to public records to spare the shame of being molested
i am so excited. i cant wait to give obama sensitive information about myself so i can save 20 minutes. after all, the government only has my best interest at heart. try living your life without constantly popping up on the grid. you have no idea how often you do. as a matter of fact i just did, writing this comment.
