Five years of a shorter line

TSA PreCheck is the rare consumer service whose value is visible in a hallway. You keep your shoes. You keep a little dignity. The shorter line is the product, and it still ships.

Renewal is a website, an appointment, and being photographed under bad light. It is not delightful. Compared with the rest of the travel stack, this is competence. Do it before the current card becomes a souvenir in a drawer.

If you fly twice a year, renew it. The form is the worst part, and the worst part is mild.
