Faster airport experience
Every time the PreCheck program expands its reach, the TSA ensures that its benefits are reiterated to everyone during the announcement. Passengers can enroll by visiting the TSA website and then selecting an enrollment provider, such as CLEAR, IDEMIA, or Telos.
After going through a screening procedure, approved travelers are given a Known Traveler Number (KTN), which they can include in their booked airline tickets to get the benefits of the program at airports.

Approval of the program puts passengers in the low-risk category and exempts them from many security screening procedures. These passengers have dedicated TSA PreCheck lanes at airports, are allowed to keep shoes, belts, and light jackets on, and are allowed to pass through with their laptops inside their carry-on bags.
Growing reach
The TSA PreCheck program is expanding its reach rapidly, as is evident by the number of passengers, airlines, and airports that are now included in it. As covered by Simple Flying before, the TSA PreCheck program has more than 20 million members in the US.

Other stakeholders are also doing their bit to ensure the program stays popular. For example, Daytona Beach Airport will soon host an enrollment event organized by the TSA, while a few months ago, CLEAR expanded its presence in Hawaii.
In August, there were even talks of US-bound Australian passengers being able to enroll in the US Global Entry and TSA PreCheck programs, as detailed in the article below.
