The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Makes no sense to a cursory inspection. TSA precheck passengers require less time/attention/personnel to pass through security.

Seems punitive to me.


However there are times when there is no one in the pre-check line, so you have 3-4 officers standing around doing nothing. From a scheduling standpoint it’s probably easier to staff the regular lines and not bother with the pre-check - although since TSA is supposed exempt from all this fuss, I don’t see how this applies.

So there you have it sports fans, I come down squarely on both sides of the decision.
