I'm always interested in how someone like this would feel about the Global Entry program(1).
On one hand, you're getting out of the pat-downs and frisking every time you fly. On the other hand - you're arguably subjecting yourself to more permanent invasion of privacy by enrolling in their program.

- tsaoutourpants 13y agoI'm not a GE/PreCheck/Clear/Nexus member. It's not even the background check -- I simply will not pay a membership (extortion) fee to avoid being groped at the airport. The right not to be abused does not have a tax on it.
- joelrunyon 13y agoThat's sort of what I thought. I've only thought about doing it because the Amex Platinum card has a statement credit for it. I'm still hesitant about it just based on principle.
- tsaoutourpants 13y agoI'd ditch the AmEx platinum card too. ;) Do you really get $450 worth of value from your annual fee?
- joelrunyon 13y agoWith the lounges, credit + a few of the other perks - it pays for itself nicely for the regular traveler.
