TSA PreCheck - Instructions and Review

Empty Nesters Andy & Mary take the leap and sign up for TSA Pre-Check. In this video we explain how to sign up for TSA-PreCheck to get your Known Traveler Number (KTN) and give you an honest review of the process from a first-time users perspective.

I'm waiting mor my KTN. If this works out good, I might do Global Entry after the first 5 years. I'll be almost retired by that time and plan to travel internationally (I was in Paris for my 59th birthday and Cairo for my 60th). My late mom was a travel agent...I think that's where I got my love of exploring exotic destinations. I go to SFO for spring break to see my grand niece...can't wait!!!!!

Thanks for the tips and tricks. We don't fly that often any more, but it's good to know incase we start back. See you guys soon.

Hi! I’m new to traveling. Been finding videos like these very helpful. Thanks for sharing! Never would’ve thought about having a TSA precheck interview at a chiropractor’s office.
Might seem like a silly question, I assume they want to see the original passport (if I choose to use my passport) for identification purposes and make a copy of it? If I apply for TSA precheck and don’t get approved in a short time, I should still have my original passport with me while my application is pending?
Having worked as college admin staff I’ve been though the fingerprinting and background check stuff before, so I imagine I probably won’t run into any troubles, but apparently sometimes it can take weeks for some people to get approved.

$85 per person? How many days AFTER the appointment till you got your KTN?

[@FrankBurnsie]

Did they make you take your cap off?

[@theemptynestlife]

I don’t recall if they made me take it off or if I just took it off myself. I’ll test it on the next flight and let you know for sure.
