I refuse to fly anymore.
If I can not drive I do not go.
This situation indicates extreme management incompetence. The appointed managers were and seemingly are not aware of load leveling techniques...probable taught in the first year of any management course. They should have been ready for this....too busy cashing their government checks and harassing travelers.
I get pre-check on my tickets most of the time... probably 4 out of 5 times, and I didn't pay or do anything special.
Are you thinking of the Global Entry program? I haven't done that because I would have to go all the way to Miami (an hour or so from me) to do the interview and all that jazz.
"I have two thoughts..."
Exactly my personal policy since my last flight in 2009. I've still done business travel for conferences and such by combining driving time as regular leave time. My wife accompanies me and we work in some interesting vacation stop either going or returning.
We do want to do an Alaska cruise sometime and that will require some re-thinking, along with an application for a passport.
TSA is the security risk, crowding people by the hundreds and thousands OUTSIDE security, unprotected. Always fear attacks and bombings in the checking and security areas, not at the gates. I travel tomorrow and having invested in Pre-Check, get to skip the lines. No fun to watch, feels just as risky.
We were automatically put in that program years ago...
This is just another way of going on strike without going on strike.
These govt. parasites are pathetic.
Believe it or not I’m assigning the blame to good old fashioned government incompetence. Couple that with this being Chicago with all of its attendant nepotism, corruption, and patronage and you have the typical outcome.

Exactly!!!
If you are a suicide muslim (or amish..), you can now kill almost as many...maybe more.. by just getting in line. 3 muslims staggered in line and synced could wipe out almost everyone.
They wont care to get to the checkpoint.
Set up.
