I was very relieved to receive my new passport just before this most recent shut down.
 
Normal screening could go away and never come back as far as I’m concerned. It’s mostly a complete waste of time. OTOH, a lot of us paid out of pocket for PreCheck and Global Entry so we could avoid normal screening. It would be BS to charge us for something and then not have it available. TSA screening in general is one of the main reasons I avoid air travel if I possibly can.
 
Clear with the new automated facia recognition lanes is even better. Went through Nashville this morning and barely slowed down.

And here at Reagan they are doing a trial run of the new pre check facial recognition. I don’t even take my ID or boarding pass out of my pocket. It’s really slick.

I get it. Fast and easy. However, it’s a slippery slope. Facial recognition AI is ripe for misuse by private and government agencies. Look what’s happened with the proliferation of commercial, governmental and home security cameras. It’s virtually impossible to travel freely in most urban and suburban areas without being tracked and scanned by some camera somewhere. I hate all of it and refuse to participate whenever I can. No home cameras, no insurance data recorders on my vehicles, all cell phone tracking turned off, I use cash as much as possible, and a VPN with DDG to limit my internet activities being tracked. I know I can’t stop all the monitoring but I’m doing my best to make it difficult.
 
TSA pre-check @ IAH was operating normally this morning around 11am, took 8 minutes to get through @ Terminal C.

I respect that.

But I fly 3 weeks a month and am in and out of so many facilities with cameras it’s a lost cause. I’m beyond being able to stop it so gave up worrying.

I tried this facial thing coming and going to Mexico same with global entry, everything was a breeze at the airport until we arrived in DFW and tried to find a shuttle bus
I really hate politicians and the MSM , them mucking around with DHS , ( TSA , air traffic controllers, coast guard, ice )
Matter of fact I just had a news story pop up that says DHS has stepped up and canceled any plans to close down any tsa facility or other programs
The liberals will be blowing smoke out for both their ears and ass’s now
