BTW, I am successfully eating raw spinach. My first foray into leafy greens with the temporary crown.

I prefer to think of it as randomization to catch the people who become complacent.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I still mourn the Leatherman multi-tool I lost leaving Moldova. They let me try to get it into my checked bags but they were already loaded. So I handed it to the security guard and said "Folosiți sănătos," which means "May you use it in good health."
Once I was cursing all the imbeciles in front of me who didn't know to take off their jewelry, etc, and then I set it off. Turned out it was the rhinestones (or rather their settings) spelling out "HOT" on my tank top. That was a lesson in not judging others.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
GE works as Precheck for domestic flights, right? Because I know I should get Precheck, and it may be simpler to just get GE.
Yes. It's only $15 more, but the time saved with GE coming back from an international trip is huge.
Caveat: TSA says that no one is *guaranteed* Precheck status every time, even if they have it or GE, but I've yet to be denied.

I was quite boggled when I got Precheck status on the flight from Salt Lake to Vegas.

Connie, they also give it to random people as well, but without going through the background check and fingerprint process, it's not going to be on a consistent basis.

I wish I'd gotten it on the Vegas to Salt Lake end, Salt Lake at 10 AM on a Tuesday is dead.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was at a gate recently that didn't have it. Granted, it was two or three gates with one security lane, so not much of a line regardless, but they had a ton of signs up about how there was no Precheck there.

The status is NOT quo.
Thanks for the motivation! I finally put in my initial application for GE. I’d been meaning to for awhile.
Drew is sleeping. He had outpatient surgery to help deal with the recalcitrant kidney stone today and is feeling pretty rotten, poor thing.
