Bottom line – There are a number of ways to handle a missing PreCheck designation on short notice. If you find out about the error before you arrive at the airport, you can call your airline and give them your KTN over the phone. Several TPG Lounge members also reported successfully fixing the error on their own by adding their KTN into their frequent flyer profile, then checking in again via the airline website or mobile app.

• Other travelers suggest going straight to social media.
• Contact TSA via Twitter and they will fix it for you in 5-10 minutes,” TPG Lounge member Mark Forquer said.
• Done this twice, they were actually very helpful.” If you don’t find out about the missing PreCheck designation until you’re at the airport, take your boarding pass back to the airline check-in counter and ask them to add your KTN to your itinerary — even if you think it’s not worth the trouble at that point.

If you’re already in a time crunch, the difference in time saved going through the PreCheck line could make or break your chances of getting onto your plane.

How to tell if American Airlines boarding pass has TSA PreCheck?

You didn’t attach your Known Traveler Number to your airline account – When you sign-up for TSA PreCheck, you’ll be assigned a Known Traveler Number. This number tells the world that you’re not a threat to American lives. You can pass through security checkpoints without removing your belt, jacket, etc. After that, you’ll be eligible automatically when you book a flight through American Airlines. You’ll see “TSA Pre” on your boarding pass. You cannot use the TSA PreCheck lane if your boarding pass doesn’t say TSA Pre. Even if you have proof of membership (like a Global Entry card), you can’t just walk through the TSA PreCheck lane and flash your credentials at the security officer.

Do you still have to go through the scanner with TSA PreCheck?

Can you refuse to go through a body scanner? – Yes, you can refuse to go through an airport body scanner. Still, you should always be polite about it—the machines are there for your safety—and be mindful of the things you shouldn’t say to a TSO that might get you flagged as a disruptive or unruly passenger.

These things are similar to what you shouldn’t say to a flight attendant, FYI.) Just be aware, says Malvini Redden, that if you opt out, “a TSO will physically check your body from head to toe, possibly including an intimate check of breasts/groin/buttocks.” You can request a private room for the screening, but they’re typically done near the checkpoint.

While you can sign up for a TSA PreCheck to skip some of the more onerous security processes like taking off your shoes, removing liquids from your carry-on and taking your laptop out of your bag, you’ll still have to go through the body scanner, according to Langston.
