Same here

This only shows how silly the system is. No vetting, no interview, nothing. We are special snowflakes.
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.
Interesting as I have never witnessed this anywhere I fly.

Apparently these get you to a faster line that doesn't take as long to get through. When I was an active pilot I had to have a TSA pass to get to my plane which was on a secured airport but it wasn't usable at a commercial airport TSA checkin. Why not some legislation that gets LTC holders through the pre-screened line. They have already been vetted, they have photo ID and they can be rapidly screened to make sure they didn't forget their firearms on their body or carry on bags. Apparently we can enter the Capital building in Austin armed as long as we have an LTC. We ought to be able to get through a TSA line faster.
Politics aside, not all LTC/CCW folks are vetted. So it would be a nightmare to determine which state permits are valid and which are not. Same reasons cops cannot just flash their badge and pass through.
