If you haven't figured this out yet, #TSA #PreCheck has absolutely nothing to do with #safety. It exists purely for #exploitation of people for more profit when they #travel, and to enforce #discrimination.

They get away with it, because our elected officials and #politicians are terrified of being labeled #SoftOnCrime, even though we know #SecurityTheatre is a lie that doesn't prevent #terrorism.

20+yrs later, we're still taking our shoes off and are limited to 1 qt baggies. #idiocracy

Pretty cool to see #GlobalEntry and #NEXUS included in Canada's #VerifiedTraveller program (similar to #PreCheck here in the US)! https://www.catsa-acsta.gc.ca/en/verified-travellers

Got lucky! I've been waiting 5 months for a new appointment to renew my #GlobalEntry and #PreCheck with #CBP and they both expired in December. I guess #United was unaware because they gave me PreCheck anyhow. #TravelerTales #UnitedStatesProblems

Just renewed #TSA #PreCheck. Had to agree to:

"[...] notify TSA within 24 hours if I am [...] found not guilty by reason of insanity of any disqualifying crime; if [...] I, as a result of mental illness, pose a danger to myself [...], or that I lack the capacity to conduct or manage my own affairs; or if I am involuntarily committed to an inpatient facility for mental health or psychiatric reasons, while I am enrolled in the TSA PreCheck® Application Program."

Sure, no problem

The problem when government has a financial incentive to partner on a service — #Clear Secure’s #airport #security line — that creates no societal benefit and only helps those who can afford the service: https://slate.com/business/2022/12/clear-airports-line-tsa-precheck.html #tsa #precheck

Realized on the way here that this is the first time I’m in an #airport In 2.5 years. Some things have changed, some are the same.

And once again, #precheck is the way.

Buhbye #boston

The brand new #EWR terminal A opens up in a few week. its evidently magnificent. However, I get the fortune of going through the "pitts" of the existing terminal A one final time. No wait for #precheck but standard security line was NYC deli at high lunchtime #TravelerTales
