61. I never looked into Clear, got TSA Pre long ago.

Feb 2024

I take enough flights within and leaving the USA to make it worthwhile. My wife travels only occasionally within the USA, and so she never applied for it. We don't even know if non-citizen non residents are given it at all. We were told that non-citizen non-residents are not allowed global entry, so we never bothered with that. If that has changed, maybe we will. But if we arrive together in the USA from Europe, and I have global entry where my wife can't have it, it's useless to us.

By the way, if Trump is sentenced to serve time, and the country club prisons are temporarily full, I would gladly contribute to a fund that would put him at the front of the line.............
