November 15 marked the start of a test run by TSA of providing military personnel expedited screening at airport checkpoints at Monterey Regional Airport in California, with plans to expand the testing to McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport in the coming months.
The tests, which will not yield faster check-in processes immediately, are being administered to determine if TSA's technology is compatible with military personnel's Common Access Cards in order to provided efficient, streamlined check-in in the future.
If the program proves to be successful through testing, it will likely be implemented in airports with large quantities of military men and women travelers. The program is part of Pre-Check which recently began trials.
