If you’re tired of Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers at the airport always checking you out as though you’re a foreigner flying one-way with no luggage on a ticket paid for in cash, then you’ll definitely want to take advantage of the TSA PreCheck enrollment sessions that will be held at Piedmont Triad International Airport from Monday, Sept. 25 through Friday, Sept. 29.
That week, the airport will be offering on-site TSA PreCheck enrollment, which is an easy way for air travelers to join the popular program that can make getting on the plane a lot faster and easier.
The TSA identifies people who are considered to be “low risk” air travelers and provides them with TSA PreCheck credentials. Once that happens, TSA pre-approved travelers don’t have to remove their shoes, belts or light outerwear – nor do they have to remove liquids or laptops from their carry-on bags.
The sessions will be held daily that week from 9 a.m. to noon. and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the airport at 1000 Ted Johnson Parkway in Greensboro. The screenings will be conducted on the American Airlines side of the arrivals level in what’s known as the Winston-Salem Room.
PTIA held a similar session earlier this year.
The cost of a TSA PreCheck membership is $78, and, once approved, your status remains valid for five years.
During the coming September sessions at the airport, applicants will be able to complete the PreCheck screening process – including the required in-person background check and fingerprinting.
Anyone who wants to sign up for PreCheck approval during this event should first make an appointment and fill out an online pre-enrollment application at https://www.tsa.gov/precheck. (Walk-ins are welcome but will be worked in between scheduled appointments.)
The pre-enrollment process is easy and only requires three steps.
Travelers who attend a TSA PreCheck enrollment session should bring proof of identity and U.S. citizenship.

$78.00…. ? Don’t we pay them enough in taxes?
I like your work Scott, but why have you suddenly become a salesman for our airport?
I picked up my wife there last night. The 25 Cent meters were gone, and the new system requires a minimum payment of $1.00. It also grabs my personal information, including my credit card number and my car’s licence tag.
So not only have they quadrupled the fee, they have also denied me my anonymity, and accessed my credit card!
Screw ’em!
I’m just sick of being tracked, traced, monitored, and – in addition – being ripped off.
CHANGE IT BACK.
i will make your colonoscopy ‘a breeze’ next month ! then your ‘audit’ . then your ‘lobotomy’.

This is not news. This is an advertisement. Every airport does this. Even Staples has PreCheck sign up now. Our airport rarely makes news on the passenger side of things.
The intrusion into one’s privacy wherever you go makes it difficult to feel good about leaving one’s house. I hate the kiosk idea at PTI and will miss the idea of having my husband go into the airport to see me off. It’s been sad enough that he can’t sit at the gate with me for the wait to board, but having to now just dump me at the door and not even being able to come inside when we’re at a dinky airport like GSO is such a shame. It used to be a pleasure to leave from here but now I’m flying from CLT instead for the greatly lower prices.
I made a huge mistake in 2020 after I had an accident at Disney World. I was at the airport with a broken foot and collarbone when someone told me they could get me through the TSA check faster with some kind of new system. Hurt and exhausted I followed him and it wasn’t until after I’d filled out paperwork and given him my license that he asked to scan my eyes, I turned around and he had scanned them, then sent me through. I realized I’d made a huge mistake. I contacted the organization as soon as I got home and asked that they delete all my information and explained why but I don’t know if they did. It still bothers me.
Everyone is trying to get your information. PTI has ruined the process of going to the airport.
You’re dead right, Deborah.
We are being deprived of our privacy, independence, freedom and sovereignty. Their goal is to track every human being, where we are in real time, what we are spending our money on, and who we are associating with. There’s a name for this : totalitarianaism. And it’s happening on a previously unimaginable scale.
The Genius Management of PTI is destroying all the advantages and benefits of our little airport in an attempt to become one of the big boys, and they’re imposing the disadvantages of the big airports in an attempt to join them!
So as PTI used to be so easy, quick, close, cheap and hassle-free, now they are upping all their fees & charges, making the process more perplexing and time consuming, creating more prohibitions and difficulties, making the place less human and more anonymous, and alienating EVERYONE.
If I were trying to drive flyers away from PTI, I would be doing everything they’re doing.
So please don’t insult our intelligence by trying to sell us your “improvements”. It’s total BS.
a gov’t employee wants to assess the ‘risk’ u are to them using the above time & money suck system. don’t fly. < travel. < tailpipe pollution. our water supply in area is ruined by this guvmnt !
