Avoiding TSA lines at airports

WCIA-TV (Champaign, May 23) -- Experts at the U of I are saying if you have to fly, skip the trip to Chicago and try going local. Travelers in the Windy City have seen lines upwards of two or three hours long this month. TSA cut some of their workers after they rolled out the "pre-check" program. The executive director at Willard Airport says more than 1,700 registered there, which was a great turnout for them. Sheldon Jacobson, who teaches at the U of I, says money may have been an issue. It costs 85 dollars for the check which lasts five years. He says if you fly a few times a year, it's only about as expensive as a cup of coffee.
