TSA PreCheck allows U.S. travelers to skip the part of airport security where you take your shoes off. For NYT's the Upshot, Ben Blatt and Christine Chung analyzed wait times at a handful of airports to see if the program really shaves off minutes. The program seems to help most of the time, at New York airports at least. At these airports - Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark - PreCheck saves travelers five to 10 minutes on average, according to our analysis.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is testing a new procedure that could save time for inbound travelers by eliminating the need to recheck bags for domestic connecting flights.
