Dubuque airport to host Tsa PreCheck enrollment event Dec. 1-4

Dubuque Regional Airport is teaming up with the Transportation Security Administration to host a TSA PreCheck enrollment event Tuesday, Dec. 1, through Friday, Dec. 4. The event takes place inside the Capt. Robert L. Martin Terminal at Airline Ticket Office No. 2. Appointments are available each day from 9 a.m. until noon and again from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. Travelers are encouraged to complete the application online and schedule an appointment ahead of time; walk-ins will also be accepted as space and personnel allow. During the appointment, applicants provide required identity and citizenship documents, have their fingerprints taken, get their photo captured, and pay the application fee. Enrollment through authorized provider IDEMIA costs $76.75 for a five-year membership. Once the application has been processed, successful applicants receive a Known Traveler Number, which is generally available online about a week after processing. TSA PreCheck members have access to dedicated screening lanes at more than 200 participating airports, typically keep their shoes, belts and light jackets on, and leave laptops and approved liquids inside their carry-on bags. According to the TSA, 99 percent of PreCheck members wait 10 minutes or less in a security screening lane.
