How TSA PreCheck worksTSA PreCheck offers a separate, shorter line through airport security (usually five minutes or less), run by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Available in 200 domestic airports, TSA PreCheck costs $85, and your TSA PreCheck enrollment status remains valid for five years. Like the TSA PreCheck program, signing up is a two-part process that’s online and in-person, although Clear requires scans of your eyes, face, and fingerprints. That means Clear could be a good back-up option if TSA PreCheck is busy or not available, and vice versa.
