Ten airports located near military bases will be the first to add new TSA security lanes for active-duty military members, their families and those who have lost their family members in the line of duty.
The news, originally reported by FOX, lists ten airports where the new security lane will be implemented at some airports starting today, July 1. New security lanes will be added to the airports in San Antonio; Anchorage; Atlanta; Austin; Colorado Springs; El Paso; Fayetteville; Nashville; San Diego and Seattle.
We have reached out to the Transportation Security Administration for additional information.
Active-duty service people and Department of Defense staff are already eligible for free TSA PreCheck. According to the updated program, Gold Star Families, who are those who lost a family member in the line of duty, will now also be eligible for free TSA PreCheck as well.
"This Independence Day and beyond, TSA reaffirms its commitment to ease travel for the military community through its TSA PreCheck program, by providing it free to Gold Star families, discounting it for active-duty spouses and creating expedited lanes for service members in uniform," TSA Acting Administrator Ha Nguyen McNeill told Fox News.
