I haven't flown for 10 days now. I'm about to gas up the truck and go on a multi-state hunting trip. So won't need an airplane again till after Thanksgiving.

Global Entry has nothing to do with airport security. Precheck and Clear does. Global Entry gets you Pre-check as part of the Global Entry package. If something on the internet makes you angry the odds are you're being manipulated

I've had Clear for several years now and didn't know that, even though I have GE.

Probably get apoplexy at TSA, kidnapped, C19, killed/die, and get eaten by cannibals. That's just if I survive all the shots. Should be "fun". My wife's idea, so blame her.

Both airports and the plane were about empty and easy. Feb 2021 went through Charlotte. Fugking mad house. Never seen a busier airport. SeaTac was packed as well. May 2021 went to Vallarta. Not horrible. This TG headed to Colorado. Fully expect a chitshow. “Life is life and fun is fun, but it's all so quiet when the goldfish die.”

Picked him up today on his return and again, had no issues. Thankfully he missed the [bleep] show Delta has going on. By the way, he killed a 10'8" giant. Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

I believe the extra attention will be beneficial. AND the cost is a Tax write off... so kinda works out some. Example: My wife set an appointment with her "Regular" doctor... it was a 2.5 month wait. Under this plan... 2 PM same day. If you are satisfied... I am glad for you. I am not satisfied with the current Pay For Service arrangement here.
