One of the easiest ways to breeze through security at the airport is to sign up for the TSA’s PreCheck program. The nearly five-year-old program lets travelers keep on their shoes and light jackets and leave their small liquids inside the luggage.
Now, under a vote by the U.S. House of Representatives, some changes for the program may be underway.
If the bill is upheld by the Senate, it would require existing PreCheck participants to provide additional vital information to continue using the service, USA Today reports. The bill also stipulates that people could join the program online or at airport kiosks. If approved, the TSA is tasked with building online enrollment rules and regulations within 90 days.
Other guidelines include establishing an automated system for reviewing travel documents, creating an automated system at large hubs to verify non-members, and letting private contractors provide canine teams to screen passengers and sniff out explosives.
