Renewed my GOES Pre TSA card online

I don't think they get to skip the lines at airports before customs tho...you know that's a false equivalency. I for one love my pass, that line in Toronto was loooonnnnnggggg and i walked by it like, cya suckers~ LOL
If you don't have CLEAR or Global Entry you're doing it wrong, so worth it!!
Pre folks are in the line I walk by. I walk up to CLEAR, they ask for my boarding pass, they escort me to a machine I give my left eye (best read is my left retina for me personally) or my right index finger (my own personal second best everyone is different) once they identify me (takes about 5 seconds from time I walk up) they escort me to PreTSA line, skip all of you and I go next no matter how long you were standing in Pre.
If I have my boarding pass printed and I'm not checking a bag, I've gotten to the airport while the plane was boarding and made it to my seat even stopping for a coffee on the way (FLL terminal A, Gate 8 when that happened).
Its a game changer.
I have GOES. Global Entry System but I have considered CLEAR just to have 1 more way of avoiding lines.
GOES is Global meaning it is BOTH Pre-TSA for domestic and customs in America for Global returning flights. If you have AMEX Platinum they reimburse the $100 charge
I have has TSA Pre Check for 5 years now. It is bullshit for two reasons.
1. So many airports will just open up the Pre Check line for the masses just to make the line go quicker. DFW, JFK and Sky Harbor in Phownix do it all the time.
2. Even when I get through quickly, I still have to wait for the family to pass through the proletariat check in. So am I really saving time???

Stop being pedestrian. Get CLEAR. If I’m with a companion without it they can meet me at the barista, may even order her a beverage before she arrives.
For those that are not aware; beginning this fall you will need a REAL ID to board a plane even if flying domestic; your GOES card is acceptable if you haven't gotten a REAL ID- which at least in my state has been a complete pain in the ass to get; hours long waits.
Yawn. FBI long ago got my finger prints. Bank got my iris. If we are going full conspiracy my eye doc does a retina scan every year...
so long as I get to waltz in and to the front of the line I’m good. Kinda like my black pass and valet at Joe Robbie(sic).
