Do you wish you could jump into the empty security line at the airport? That empty, shorter line is the TSA PreCheck line for travelers approved to use this line. The simplest explanation of TSA PreCheck is that it is a pre-screening service for domestic travelers. Global Entry is the best service, in my opinion, because Global Entry works for domestic security lines and quick re-entry security lines into the USA after traveling abroad.
TSA PreCheck
First, TSA PreCheck is a domestic airport lines program that pre-screening travelers so they can go through security checkpoints faster. Next, Global Entry service makes re-entering the USA from international travel faster. So, if you need one pre-screening entry service and you plan to enjoy international travel, then Global Entry is the best for you.
Global Entry
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) runs the Global Entry service. The program pre-approves and expedites clearance for low-risk travelers arriving into the United States. Members enter the United States through electronic kiosks at select airports. Global Entry members are also eligible to participate in TSA PreCheck and other foreign countries entry program such as the Netherland.
My interview went very smoothly. It was very relaxed, and the agent was very professional. My agent was helpful; I even saw a smile. I answered all his questions with short answers and was quickly approved.
The final step, after your acceptance in the program, is your ID card arrives in a couple of weeks. If you need to travel sooner, you use the TSA PreCheck or Global Entry ID number. You can find the number on your appointment email.
TSA PreCheck or Global Entry reduces anxiety, stress level and makes travel a little more relaxing. Enjoy the short line from now on!

Great read, Kate. Global Entry is a must for world travelers. It's saved me tons of time at airports. Cheers.
hi Jim, So glad you like Global Entry. When I am tired some ties the Kiosk and my brain don't work well together. But, other than that I like it too.
