The TSA PreCheck enrollment provided by IDEMIA costs $78, which covers five years of participation.
"We are incredibly excited to kickoff this pilot with United Airlines," said Lisa Sullivan, Senior Vice President, Travel and Transport, IDEMIA Identity and Security North America. "This is the first of its kind. IDEMIA collaboration's with United Airlines continues our joint goal of enrolling more travelers in TSA PreCheck, and it ties convenience and accessibility together for travelers flying in and out of the Denver International Airport."

TSA PreCheck offers many benefits for enrolled travelers, including access to dedicated screening lanes at 200+ participating airports nationwide where 99% of TSA PreCheck passengers wait less than 10 minutes. There is no need to remove shoes, belts, 3-1-1 liquids, or light jackets. Children 13-17 may join enrolled adults at the TSA PreCheck lanes when traveling on the same reservation and if the TSA PreCheck indicator appears on the child's boarding pass. Children 12 and under may accompany an enrolled parent or guardian in the TSA PreCheck lanes without restriction.
"TSA PreCheck® offers significant benefits to those who meet its enrollment standards – less physical contact, fewer items on the conveyor belt and faster screening," said TSA Federal Security Director for Colorado, Larry Nau. "This benefit is one of the most valuable and affordable travel options that passengers can enroll in because of the convenience it offers. The cost is $78 for five years, which comes to about $15 per year."
