And it's not just PreCheck - the price of your ticket gives you privileges as well.
I could not personally believe when I first saw that First Class and Business travelers got their own separate line for security. The brazen unfairness of it is incredible.
The amount you paid for a ticket should have absolutely zero to do with Federal Government managed security. If the wealthy and corporations were forced to wait in line with the rest of us, the security theater we have to deal with would suddenly become a lot less moronic.
That was the first time I personally observed the influence the wealthy have on the government. I knew it was true, but up until then I hadn't ever experienced it myself. It's disgusting.
