TSA

Walking into the airport can be chaotic.

Oversized bags, overcrowded lines, and overworked staff.

One way to make US airport security less stressful is to sign up for the TSA-PRE program.

For $70 you can skip pulling out electronics, untying shoes, and long lines for 5 years.

A damn good deal.

Yet whenever I watch people breeze through PreCheck, there’s still a sea of travelers waiting in the regular line.

It makes me wonder:

Which lines am I standing in simply because I haven’t looked for another way through?
