I happen to really appreciate Precheck! Why wouldn’t it be offered to the frequent flyers? When you fly through the same airports so often that all of the employees know you by name, getting undressed and having to dump out your bags gets old pretty fast.

I am a millionaire, white, male and have a college degree. What line at the airport is for us?
Or just get GlobalEntry ($100 for five years) or Nexus ($50) and you are in the program. Minorities and infrequent travelers are more than welcome.
Also, the passenger volumes are low because the program is still new. It does help with delays during peak hours (e.g. Monday morning).
Or you can organize a lawsuit against EZpass for discrimination against people without transponders. Maybe there people will listen.
Relax. Have a drink at the airport bar.

It’s obvious you’re not a frequent flyer. I fly over 150 segments a year. It’s a pleasure to use TSA Pre-check. It’s very frustrating to wait in security lines with casual flyers that take up to five minutes just to empty their pockets, take off their belt, remove their jackets and forget to take things out of their bags. I allowed the TSA to further check my background for the use of this service. And that’s what it is, a SERVICE for people who spend half their lives in airports. I would be interested to hear your take on TSA… Read more »
Works great. Such a pleasure
