| Just for the hell of it  |
A very good friend travels alot mostly for work. A few years back he got Global Entry to make getting back into the US less time consuming. He was a little annoyed like you that he really needed to go through all the hoops. FWIW he is USSS and routinely fly's armed as well as walks through the WH armed. He also walked into his interview armed. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.

They did not do too much checking as my wife and I both got approved within a week or so. Maybe they went back 50 years and looked at my TS clearance info. | |||

It's about to get worse...
Full article: Get ready for the coming business travel crisis I used to *love* air travel. Not any more. Between the Gestapo security theatre at airports, airlines treating their passengers like cattle, the increasingly irresponsible operation of airliners and the air traffic control system, and the (admittedly remote) possibility of terrorism: I want nothing whatsoever to do with getting on a commercial airliner.

I may be going to Idaho this fall, and the 35 hour drive looks more and more appealing. Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago. | |||

I fly 2-3 weeks a month. Most people have no idea how bad it really is. | |||

For 20yrs I would drive from AZ to Washington State around the 4th of July to visit friends. No more for me, between the texting, crimes at rest areas and the Semi drivers it's just not worth it. The drive used to be fun, now it's more of a battle. | |||

I wish they would abolish the TSA. Its worthless. I have to travel for work which includes a fair amount of air travel. I hate it.

I hate flying so much I just spent 7 days driving myself from Tucson to Halifax to see family. It adds two weeks to my trip but I don't have to see the TSA, no bag fees, no taking shoes off unless I want to drive barefoot (not recommended). My luggage made every connection, no bins, no screaming kids, no 575 pound Shan'iqua trying to fit a 3 size person into one seat... it was so nice, and I got to enjoy the country more people should do this | |||
