TWIC holders skipping interview?

Upvote:3

According to UES who processes TWIC, Hazmat, and TSAPre applications, the TSA does not allow a connection between TWIC/Hazmat and TSAPre at this time. Applicants who are seeking to enroll in TSAPre must still complete the in-person interview and fingerprinting as well as the FBI background check to get a Known Traveler Number (KTN) for TSAPre.

Is there any value in possessing a TWIC card (Transporation Workers ID Credentialling) when it comes to expedited airport screening or registering/applying for Pre-check, GOES, etc? The DHS conducts a detailed background check and collects biometric data prior to issuing this security credential.

Sean - Not at this time. As with any pilot initiative, if proven successful, TSA will explore expanding the program to additional passengers, airports and airlines.

Thanks,

You can however use a TWIC card as proof during enrollment: http://www.tsa.gov/tsa-precheck/required-documentation
