Machine Gun Kelly says he’s banned from TSA PreCheck and other fast?track airport programs because of an old drug possession charge. On the Take Flight podcast, MGK explained that he was caught with cocaine while traveling from New Zealand years ago, which made international travel difficult and kept him out of trusted?traveler programs. He said it even took him eight years to return to Australia because of the legal fallout. MGK added that he still has to wait in regular airport lines like everyone else. The musician has been open about his sobriety journey, revealing in 2024 that he quit drugs and alcohol to break “generational curses.”
