IT’S WINNING WEDNESDAY!!!
🙌🏽Two wins this travel season: smoother lines and extra gratitude for those who serve🏆🏆🙌🏽
Serve With Honor. Travel With Ease.
✈️ Today, TSA introduces its “Serve With Honor, Travel With Ease” initiative—rolling out premium benefits for our military community:
• Free TSA PreCheck for active-duty, reserve, National Guard, and DoD civilians simply by using their DoD ID at booking. 
• Gold Star families get complimentary enrollment.
• $25 discount for military spouses.
• Deployment of dedicated PreCheck lanes and front‑of‑line access at airports near bases (e.g., Atlanta and Austin). 
Let’s honor those who serve by making travel smoother and more stress‑free.
Keep Your Shoes On. Stay Comfortable.
👟👠🥾🚫 Long live shoes in line! As of July 8, travelers no longer need to remove their shoes at security checkpoints—mainstreaming the TSA PreCheck perk for everyone, thanks to enhanced screening tech and layered protections. 
• Shoe removal still possible on a case-by-case basis if extra screening is needed.
• Other adjustments (laptops, belts, liquids) under review.
