Q: Can you get tsa precheck if you’ve ever received a customs seizure letter
A: Receiving a customs seizure letter may not necessarily disqualify you from obtaining TSA PreCheck. TSA PreCheck eligibility is primarily based on a person's criminal background and security risks. Customs seizure letters generally relate to violations of customs laws and regulations, which may not directly impact your TSA PreCheck eligibility.
A:
TSA PreCheck is a program run by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and is generally available to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and lawful permanent residents who have not been convicted of certain disqualifying crimes. A customs seizure letter alone should not automatically disqualify someone from obtaining TSA PreCheck. However, eligibility determinations are made by the TSA, and specific circumstances may be considered during the application process. It is advisable to review the TSA's eligibility criteria and contact them directly for personalized guidance on individual situations.
