Security at the airport is no one's favorite thing. Whether it's because of the long lines or, worse, you see SSSS on your boarding pass, and even if you're a TSA PreCheck holder, sometimes TSA can be unpredictable. Travelers who purchased and have Clear access, with the ability to pop to the head of security lines, might be surprised with additional screening. That's because it is the job of the TSA to monitor behavior of all passengers regardless of status.

Starting back in 2006, you may have noticed a new camera-like icon appear on the front of your passport. That's when the United States started implementing biometric passports, also known as e-Passports. The first country to use them was Malaysia in 1998, with other countries following suit in the years that followed. These handy little booklets, which are becoming easier for people to obtain for travel, still otherwise functioned the same way as any passport you'd had before, but now they contain a microchip that security personnel at airports can read.

You Might Zip Through TSA Faster If Your Passport Has This Small Camera Symbol On It

Many travelers view TSA unfavorably, often seeing it as a source of frustration at the airport with their relentless reminders to remove shoes, take out electronics, and discard liquids that don't comply with the strict 3-1-1 rule. If you're particularly unlucky, you might even be pulled aside for additional screening. And even if you're savvy enough to apply for TSA PreCheck or Clear to speed through the TSA line as fast as possible, you can still face delays, especially in a bustling airport where everyone and their mother is trying to board a plane.
