Passengers could lose their TSA PreCheck privilege over unruly behavior on flights

Acting out on a flight could result in getting TSA PreCheck privileges canceled, the Federal Aviation Administration and Transportation Security Administration announced Tuesday.

The FAA says it will share the information of passengers who face fines for bad behavior with TSA, which could allow TSA to revoke PreCheck for those who have been cleared for the easier screening process.

I don't have a problem with flight attendants. My problem is with the passengers boarding, messing with their stuff in the aisle holding up the whole plane.

Bailiff, whack his peepee.

So, the 'employees' get to decide who the customers are.

Nice to be a government worker.

[Kharis13]

Get rid of the bars at the airports, and don’t serve alcohol on the plane and you’ll solve 90% of the problems. (The other 10% are people with serious mental health issues.)

Unruly = refusing to wear a mask. I have TSA PreCheck...but haven't flown since the Wuhan Flu appeared. What I'd do,on a long flight,is make frequent trips to the bathroom (which I do anyway...damn prostate!) and on short flights I'd make at least one or two.

(The other 10% are people with serious mental health issues.)

Or, as the left would put it, come from cultures that you people with "white privilege" wouldn't understand.

Just curious if any Freeper has TSA PreCheck? How difficult is it to get? Do you just pay your money on-line and is it more or less automatic.

Some of us have no choice but to fly due to distances to family and the like and I have a premium credit card which will, supposedly, reimburse the fee once every five years. But I don't want the hassle of a face-to-face interview with some government flunky to get TAS PreCheck.

[vespa300]

I fly about once a month and have for the past 5 years, thorough the whole pandemic, when there were 5 people on the plane. I got Covid about a year ago and I only lost taste and smell for a few days....No problema.

Living in Texas, I never wear a mask, this weekend we went to see Trump with 18,000 people in an indoor arena, the night before we went to see the group Midland in an indoor arena with about 10,000 people. Natural immunity.....the super immunity they don’t talk about because it destroys their power to control. I’ve probably been exposed to Covid thousands of times......thousands times ten thousands.

[sauropod]

Bingo.

[sauropod]

I have it.

You have to submit PII to TSA and they decide. It is not automatic.

[Gay State Conservative]

It must be nice to live in Free America. The only reason I'm not in Texas is the heat and the tornadoes. You're right about natural immunity...it's the very best kind. But Rat Party Headquarters and their stooge,Fauxi (a *government* doctor) won't allow it.

[Gay State Conservative]

I have it. There are several ways to get it,I got mine through "NEXUS" which is $50 for 5 years...but it requires you to make a trip up to the Canadian border for an interview by a US and Canadian border official (I live only a few hours from the border).

There's another way...$100 (IIRC)...and it requires you to go for an interview,usually at a Federal building.

The key to TSA PreCheck is that they do a background check on you. So if you have any unpaid parking tickets pay them before you apply.

[Zathras]

Report all unprofessional behavior of TSA agents to their supervisor.
I’ve done it twice.
The moron I reported back in 2011 probably works for Antifa now.

I was afraid of the heat too. But Ive come to love it. I embrace it. I plan for it. I thrive in it. I hate the cold actually here in Jan and Feb. I cannot stand cold.

We love the heat, even the humidity which is good for the skin. I play tennis in 100 degree heat. What a fantastic work out. Then we walk in the heat.......sweating is so good for us. Purges our body of toxins. Then that cold sweet Texas watermelon. The iced tea. Heat keeps us thin and lean. And so healthy.

Give it try....embrace it. And we have central air conditioning too and a pool. I could not live anywhere else. At age 63 my resting heartrate is mid 40s....thanks to the heat and work outs. Give it a try!

[Zathras]

I have a Global Access card which is great.
You need to go thru special screening to get it but its not too bad.
The good news is it works worldwide.

[dfwgator]

Certain credit cards will pay for your TSA PreCheck, but if you travel internationally, Global Entry is a godsend, saved us a lot of time yesterday when we returned from Spain.

[nuconvert]

Flying is a privilege not a right. You play by the rules or lose the privilege. Don’t want to play by their rules, don’t fly.

[vespa300]

I have TSA precheck and it’s easy to get. Apply on line, make an appointment, go in, they fingerprint you, in fact, my American Airlines Citi credit card pays the $90 fee.

Good for 5 years too. I’m so glad I have it too.

"Global Entry"

This was originally untethered from TSA, and spared the wait in line for immigration and customs at a US port of entry. At some point in the last 15 years it also provided the TSA pre-check(ed) status.

Global Entry requires a personal interview and giving up biometric info (fingerprints).

Ban them from flying on all airlines, then their TSA Pre-checks won’t matter; tired of idiots.

[Gay State Conservative]

The card I have (”NEXUS”) is primarily set up to allow for quick and easy crossing of the US/Canada border...in both directions.As a side benefit you get TSA PreCheck and Global Entry. I've used the card a couple of times at the border but never at an airport (I got it just before the lockdown started). But we'll be going to South Korea next summer (if the border's open) and I'll use it then.
