By all logic, PreCheck shouldn’t exist. We should not have to sacrifice privacy for convenience, and we should not be allowed to pay to bypass “necessary” security measures for a small fee. Either no one deserves these privileges or we all do. “TSA PreCheck For All” would be an immensely popular political platform for a Democratic presidential candidate.
Very true -- certainly one part of heyday America I miss, the relative ease of air travel. That said, I'm not sure why you've got "lengthy interview" in the link? The article itself mentions it was brief and when I did it this year I wouldn't even call it an interview. They just verified a few things from my application (which wasn't very long either and could be done online), took my photo and fingerprints and that was it. We were in and out of there in 10 minutes.
