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

i’m somewhat philosophically opposed to paying for TSA #PreCheck, because no matter how cheap it is, it still feels like paying a protection racket.

“awfully nice shoes you’ve got there. would be a real shame if somebody made you take them off.”

that said, not having to futz with electronics *and* not having to deal with opting out of body scanners is pretty enticing. which, i suppose, is exactly the point.

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 👍

@rod assuming you have #PreCheck, leave Logan & head over to the Seaport or North End for a nice lunch.

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

I was a bit indignant here for a minute because I thought they meant "should you not #travel with people who don't have #precheck?" But then I realized it was "do you go through the precheck line and leave them in the general line?"

And... HELL YES YOU DO

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
