Why do we take our shoes off to get on a plane? Don't know about you, but I don't have to. It's called TSA PreCheck.
Remind me again on how much that cost you and the verification process you were subjected to for this privilege?
For me, it was free. And, there was no verification process.
Everyone will get a free pass every once in a while... If you're lucky to get it on one flight chances are you'll get it on the return flight... And, if your traveling a lot you can have a permanent PreTSA or Known Traveler Number.
The cost is $100, plus an background check, and a ID verification.
A lot of my work mates that do international travel have a Nexus Card or a Global Entry card that has your photo on it and other info similar to a driver license... This lets them breeze right through TSA and Customs...
