Global Entry/TSA Pre Check.. damn that's fast

Postby pfarber » Sat Aug 04, 2018 12:13 am

Since I travel a little bit I figured I'd pony up the $100 for Global Entry and TSA PreCheck (taking off shoes is for suckers!)... and since I'm in just about every government computer ever invented I was hoping that my application would be done before my next international trip at the end of August.

I read that getting the actual interview could take weeks/months to get... better start now and see whats up.

My application was approved (conditional) in 2 days and while the Philly office had ZERO interviews for the month of August, Newark (like a 20 minute drive from philly) was basically wide open. And the FAQ did say to check all local airports for openings.... good advice.

So with any luck on Monday I'll have my known traveler number and get to jump ahead off all the filthy commoners waiting at security and Immigration.

Drove a few hours to Newark for the interview. Three questions: Ever been arrested? Ever broken any immigration laws? Do you have any questions? Get fingerprinted and DONE.

Woo Hoo!!!! Now I can safely bypass all the filthy hobo's at immigration and security checks.

Updated my airline profiles with my known traveler number and just wait for that sweet PreCheck option to appear on my boarding pass.
