I am on TSA Pre-check. Guess what. Means zip, just don’t have to remove shoes. Everyone gets the frisk now days.
You often get to skip a lot of spaces in line on the Pre Check list.
I have a canadian passport and I do everything the same way. Personally know some people who have the NEXUS card and the same BS goes when flying. It only works well when DRIVING thru the checkpoints with no stupid questions.
trusted traveller let me avoid taking off shoes, skip taking laptop out of backpack, skip radiation scanner (only do magnetic instead). Mostly.
It doesn’t always work for all of these, depends on the location I guess.
It sure saves a lot of time on lines also.
No, there are actually separate lines. we came back from Russia in May. The two lines, immigration and customs were super long and we bypassed them both. Works for us.
