- headcanon 7y agoThe difference is that Precheck is a voluntary, opt-in program - you give up personal information in exchange for expedient security check. Big difference from doing it for everybody indiscriminately.
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 7y agoPassive surveillance versus active questionnaire. The questionnaire I did was a one time thing and it was the most ridiculously security theater thing possible. The interview went "You work at XYZ?" "Yup" "You live at 123 Whatever St?" "Yup" "Okay, here ya go." There may have been a third question. I forget. Passive surveillance crosses a line for me. I don't want this to get normalized. Plus, with pre-check it was a legit exchange. I give up some info they already have and in exchange they give me a huge benefit when I travel. Much more fair.
- donavanm 7y agoI am. I went through nexus because I travel a lot. For various reasons both CBP, DOJ, State, and other countries already have fingerprints and photos of me. There was no net loss in my case so it was worth it. As others have stated a clear explicit exchange with a known party is very different than passive continual surveillance with unknown arbitrary parties and no consent.
