Schumer: TSA Pre-Check Enrollment Center Is Set To Take Off November 3rd

Today U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer announced the installation of its Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Pre-Check Enrollment Center at the Syracuse Hancock International Airport will begin on November 3, 2015. The center will be located on Level I, Terminal A, between the airport security and uniform security desks. In May, Schumer announced he had successfully urged the TSA to establish an enrollment center in Syracuse. During his initial push, Schumer said that it would make it easier for residents of Syracuse and the surrounding towns to take advantage of the Pre-Check program. This program provides expedited security screenings for low-risk travelers. Schumer noted that both Rochester and Albany have local pre-check enrollment centers and Syracuse needed one too, as Central NY travelers currently have to travel all the way to Oswego to enroll. Having this enrollment center at the Syracuse Airport up and running will mean more Syracuse travelers can take advantage of the pre-check program. Schumer said this center will create a safer, more convenient flying experience for many Central New Yorkers by reducing wait times without hampering airport security.

"With the great news that the Syracuse TSA Pre-Check center will be up-and-running soon after installation begins on November 3, there is only one thing left for Central New Yorkers to do -- enroll. This soon-to-be-open center will mean Syracuse travelers no longer have to travel 40 minutes out of the way to register and can instead experience a more convenient travel experience with reduced wait times," said Schumer. "Syracuse Hancock International Airport is a major hub for business and leisure travelers alike, and I was proud to help bring this program to Central NY, which will shorten security lines and make travelers' days a lot less stressful."
