Bradley International Airport making changes to TSA security checkpoints; will impact passengers

A change will go into effect May 1 at the TSA security checkpoints at Bradley International Airport, according to the Connecticut Airport Authority.

The authority noted that starting on Wednesday, May 1, all TSA PreCheck lanes will be relocated from the main security checkpoint to the second TSA screening checkpoint. The changes should bring more “efficiency and convenience” for passengers, according to the authority.

“This screening location will be dedicated for passengers enrolled in TSA PreCheck and those who have both TSA PreCheck and CLEAR,” according to the Connecticut Airport Authority. “Passengers who do not have TSA PreCheck, will continue using the general TSA screening lanes located at the main TSA screening checkpoint, which now will have additional lanes for screening.”

CLEAR will remain available at both security checkpoints.

“With these changes in place, the overall TSA screening process will be streamlined, creating more efficiency and convenience for all passengers,” according to the Connecticut Airport Authority.

“We are always looking for ways to enhance the security screening process and to make travel easier for our passengers, especially during busy timeframes of travel,” said Connecticut Airport Authority Executive Director Kevin A. Dillon, in a statement. “We would like to thank our partners with the TSA and CLEAR for helping to make this improvement possible.”

The authority noted that passengers are “still advised to arrive inside the main terminal with enough time to check in with their airline and go through the appropriate TSA security checkpoint.”
