OK, so people do still have to take off their shoes? I haven't flown in over 5 years, so I didn't know what was current. This will inform what pair of shoes I wear when I go on vacation.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

They didn't have people doing this the last couple times I flew through Fort Lauderdale. They didn't even want me to take my laptop out of the carry-on, while in the past it had to go through on its own.

I'm taking my CPAP machine, so I expect that will catch some interest.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
About half the time in Boston, I seem to get put in a Pre-Check lane even though I don't have it. It's great!

I did the TSA Precheck thing and my experience was like amyth's except that the office at BWI is closer to me. It has been so worth it!

Pre-Check is domestic only, but signing up for the international (Global Entry) gets you Pre-Check domestic and special lanes for customs, etc., for $100.

Yeah, in retrospect, I wish I had done Global Entry. I'm going to do that when my KTN expires.

StuntHusband has done the TSA Precheck, and is thrilled with it. I'm considering doing Global Entry, especially since it looks like I'll be doing more visits to the Ottawa and Copenhagen offices.
