There is a new opportunity for travelers in our area to speed their way through airport security.

TSA showed off its pre-application center at Mitchell International Airport this morning.  

It's a screening program that allows low-risk travelers to get a more efficient screening experience.

Passengers enrolled in the program do not need to remove their shoes, belts, or light jackets.

"Our goal is to provide the best possible travel experience for every passenger who comes through this airport,” said Mark Lendvay, TSA Wisconsin Federal Security Director.

"The pre-check is great program to ease up the congestions we have at the checkpoints it helps us process more passengers faster,” said Alex Robles, TSA Agent Mitchell International Airport.

The temporary application center will be at the airport until August 26.

You can also apply online and do an in-person visit is necessary after that.
