TSA PreCheck is a trusted traveler program that allows approved passengers to use expedited security lanes at participating U.S. airports. Travelers in PreCheck lanes typically do not need to remove shoes, belts, light jackets, laptops or compliant liquids during screening.

TSA PreCheck offers faster screening at airports nationwide, including Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. How it works and how to enroll.
