TSA Pre has become a situation where everyone has it. I also have premium passenger status with one airline and many times that line is considerably shorter than TSA Pre. This is almost always the case in Houston.Solaris wrote:Same heresteveincowtown wrote:Personal solution- get Precheck as others have stated.

This only shows how silly the system is. No vetting, no interview, nothing. We are special snowflakes.
I travel a lot and have had more than one bad experience with TSA. I even had one experience where I probably could have presses charges for assault against a TSA agent (I had several witnesses including a police officer and his supervisor, not to mention security cameras).
The bottom line is that they will never be effective as long as they are merely trying to give they perception of being effective. Their screening process is cumbersome at best and there are more effective ways to make air travel safer, but they will never implement them due the stifling bureaucracy that is our federal government.
