MILWAUKEE, WIS. – General Mitchell International Airport (MKE) officials have announced that the airport has been selected by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for inclusion in the expansion of the TSA PreCheck program. Now pre-approved travelers will be able to leave on their shoes, belts and other items in select screening lanes, as well as keep their laptop in their cases and their 3-1-1 compliant liquids/gels bag in a carry-on.
TSA’s PreCheck Program is an expedited screening program for pre-approved airline passengers. To date, more than 15 million passengers have experienced TSA PreCheck since it launched in October 2011.
Four airlines serving MKE are currently enrolled in the program including American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and U.S. Airways. Southwest Airlines, MKE’s largest carrier, is expected to join the program in the future.
