And what’s the harm in surrendering a little personal information in exchange for access to a faster screening line where you can leave your shoes, light outerwear and belt on, and are allowed to keep your laptop in its case and your 3-1-1 compliant liquids and gels bags in a carry-on? Plenty, actually. Pre-Check represents the latest step toward what many TSA-watchers consider a ‘papers please’ society, a darker version of America that before 9/11 only existed in the pages of dystopian novels.”
