I could also see Colin Powell suing the Group of Four -- after all, they ruined his life, too. And how about the families of all the soldiers who died in Iraq and those soldiers who were mutilated but didn't die? Not to mention all the tax-payers who were duped into trying to pay for the war...<br /><br />The Group of Four have a lot to answer for.Classof65https://www.blogger.com/profile/15620524862669295761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-12763252588600240342016-05-18T12:48:54.493-05:002016-05-18T12:48:54.493-05:00About PreCheck - I'm a frequent flyer who init...About PreCheck - I'm a frequent flyer who initially got PreCheck through my Premier status on my carrier's FF program. I saw the benefits, so I signed up and paid for Global Entry, which gives me PreCheck and expedited lines at immigration, too. Even though I already have a low level security clearance through my job, I still had to do the interview, fingerprints, and questionnaire to qualify. <br /><br />Shortly after I did, I started observing the TSA routinely pulling people out of the regular line and running them through PreCheck. I complained several times to the TSA that they were both undermining the benefit I had paid for, and more importantly, compromising the purported security purpose of the program. I was essentially told to shut up or risk losing my "privileges." So glad someone blew the whistle and exposed the total mismanagement of the program.
