The Transportation Security Administration said Thursday that JetBlue Airways would join its roster of airlines participating in its PreCheck airport security program. JetBlue is the ninth airline to be included, joining Southwest, which announced its participation last week, Alaska, American (which now also includes US Airways), Delta, Hawaiian, United and Virgin America.
PreCheck's expedited security screening process allows travelers to leave their shoes, light outerwear and belts on, leave 3-1-1-compliant liquids and gels in carry-on bags and keep laptops in their cases as they move through security scanners.
While airlines are joining the program, only a select number of preapproved United States and Canadian citizens are eligible to participate.
That group now includes members of the armed forces, including reservists and members of the National Guard; certain members of frequent flyer programs for the airlines mentioned; members of a United States Customs and Border Protection (C.B.P.) Trusted Traveler program and Canadian citizens who are members of the C.B.P.'s Nexus program.
For JetBlue passengers, the service is available to members of any of the T.S.A.-approved Trusted Traveler programs mentioned, as well as to some who meet the T.S.A.'s low-risk security profile standards, though the exact details of how those travelers are chosen is still unclear. Passengers must also be using one of the 22 JetBlue terminals currently offering PreCheck service and must check in using the airline's mobile application. There are plans to expand the program to eligible passengers using paper boarding passes by the end of March 2014, according to a statement released today by JetBlue.
With most major domestic airlines now participating in more than 100 airports nationwide, it should not be long before the T.S.A. is ready to open up the application process to even more "lawful permanent residents" of the United States, as the agency described them.
In fact, the open application process, which will require an annual fee, should be available before the end of the year, according to the agency's release, which also stated that as always, no individual will ever be absolutely guaranteed expedited screening, as the agency will continue to conduct random and unpredictable security checks.
