TSA checkpoint needs crossword clue
22 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 1, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “TSA checkpoint needs” is IDS. It appears as 22 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 1, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Double Team” by Joe Rodini, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 4, column 7 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with I and ends with S, and contains 1 vowel and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
