Thread: Nonrevs Beware...Check In ATL, DFW...TSA @#$%$%!

I have often suggested taking a dry run to check out the TSA scene and know where the pitfalls are in trying to run the security gauntlet.
Not always possible but get to know your native airport and keep up with smoothing the flow for your own self-preservation.
Good idea to know the alternatives !
STOP being an airline lemming !

Instead of Pre-Check ($85 for 5 years) consider the GE (Global Entry) for $100 (same 5 yrs) giving all the benefits of Pre-Check and faster Customs handling on the return trip - maybe making that all important connection to your final destination possible instead of wishy washy maybe kinda could have happened - the GA just slammed the door - back to square 1 !
