Summary
A woman, Pauline Kulka, shared a travel hack on TikTok that allowed her to get through security at Chicago’s O’Hare airport in under five minutes, despite long lines due to the partial government shutdown. She used TSA PreCheck Touchless, a little-known add-on to TSA PreCheck that uses facial recognition technology instead of a physical ID. This service is only available with certain airlines and requires travelers to have TSA PreCheck. Kulka’s video has over 200,000 views, with some commenters thanking her for sharing the tip and others urging her to keep it a secret.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
TSA PreCheck Touchless is the latest travel hack for those who want to skip the regular security lines. It’s a separate line from regular TSA PreCheck and uses facial recognition technology instead of a physical ID. But let’s be real, it’s just a fancy way of saying “I’m willing to pay for convenience.” The real secret to getting through security quickly is having the right membership and a willingness to opt-in to every possible program.
And the best part? It’s only available to those who are already part of the TSA PreCheck program, because exclusivity is the new luxury.
The TSA PreCheck Touchless line is like the VIP section of the airport, but instead of a red carpet, you get a slightly shorter wait time.
And the moral of the story is: if you want to get through security quickly, just pay for it.
The TSA PreCheck Touchless program is the perfect solution for those who value their time, but not their privacy.
