Corpus Christi residents can now enroll in the Transportation Security Administration's popular PreCheck program at Corpus Christi International Airport... but you need to act fast! The enrollment period ends on Feb. 17.
The PreCheck program allows travelers to go through an expedited security screening process that allows travelers to leave on their shoes, light outerwear and belt, keep their laptop in its case and their 3-1-1 compliant liquids/gels bag in a carry-on, in select TSA airport checkpoint screening lanes.
