CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — The Transportation Security Administration announced special PreCheck benefits for the Atlanta area’s military community.
According to the TSA, the administration will be implementing a new partnership specifically with Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to "enhance the travel experience for members of the U.S. military community as part of a national campaign" and honor military families’ “enduring sacrifice.”
Going forward, TSA will have an expedited access to the PreCheck lanes at the Atlanta airport for military families and active-duty service members.
