San Francisco International Airport CA: HOW To Skip The Lines

U.S. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi reports:

Skip the Lines
The Transportation Security Administration recently announced the opening of TSA Pre✓™ site at theSan Francisco International Airport (SFO). TSA Pre✓™ is an expedited screening program that allows travelers to leave on their shoes, light outerwear and belt, keep their laptop in its case and keep 3-1-1 compliant liquids/gels in a carry-on bag.

To enroll in TSA Pre✓™:

1. Download your application online.

2. Schedule a visit at your local site in order to provide biographic information (e.g. name, date of birth, address, etc.), fingerprints, valid required identity and citizenship/immigration documentation.

3. Pay your one-time application fee of $85 for a five-year membership.

If you’re tired of getting stuck at long Customs lines, you may also want to consider applying for Global Entry, which also qualifies you for TSA Pre✓™. Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States. By signing up for Global Entry, you will be able to breeze through customs when returning to the United States. Global Entry costs $100 for a non-refundable application fee for a five year membership.

In light of the recent tragedies abroad, you may also want to take advantage of resources like theSmart Traveler Enrollment Program, which will allow the State Department to better assist you in the case of an emergency. You can also subscribe to receive Travel Warnings, Travel Alerts and other information for a particular country. We must continue our work in Congress to ensure that our planes are secure, our passengers are safe, and U.S. aviation remains among the safest ways to travel.
