TSA Pre✓™ application center now open at
Bradley International Airport
Travelers at the airport can now enroll in the popular program
Windsor Locks, Conn. — The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the
Connecticut Airport Authority (CAA) today announced the opening of a new application site for
TSA Pre✓™, an expedited screening program 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 screening lanes. The new application center is conveniently located in the
baggage claim area at Bradley International Airport (BDL).
The TSA Pre✓™ application process allows U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to go
through a pre-enrollment process online at tsa.gov and visit an application center to provide
biographic information (e.g. name, date of birth, address, etc.), fingerprints, payment and valid
required identity and citizenship/immigration documentation. This program requires an
application fee of $85 for a five-year membership.
“The opening of this application center greatly increases the availability of TSA Pre✓™ benefits
to a broader population of travelers in the area,” said TSA Federal Security Director for
Connecticut William Csontos. “TSA Pre✓™ is part of our ongoing commitment to provide the
most effective security in the most efficient way possible.”
“We are pleased to have partnered with TSA to introduce this new service at Bradley
International Airport,” said Kevin Dillon, AAE, Executive Director and CEO of the Connecticut
Airport Authority. “Every day, we strive to offer our travelers a carefree and convenient travel
experience, and this new service is an example of our ongoing efforts to take customer care to
the next level.”
“This initiative bolsters an already strong relationship between TSA and Bradley,” said CAA
Board Chair Mary Ellen S. Jones. “We are pleased to provide this customer service enhancement
so our passengers can spend less time waiting and more time exploring other airport amenities.”
Once approved, travelers will receive a Known Traveler Number and will have the opportunity
to utilize TSA Pre✓™ lanes at security checkpoints at more than 150 participating airports and
on 12 airlines. TSA has opened more than 330 application centers across the country, including
approximately 30 airport locations.
The newly opened TSA Pre✓™ application center is located in the Baggage Claim area at BDL.
Additional locations can be found in Springfield, Mass. and New Haven, Conn. For a complete

As always, TSA continues to incorporate random and unpredictable security measures
throughout the airport and no individual will be guaranteed expedited screening. For more
