    I just renewed mine and they still make you do an interview even on renewal but this time I was able to do it right in customs at the Dallas airport.

    They a separate lane that you went through and they took a new picture and your fingerprints again.

    I had my new card within a couple of days and am good to go for another 5 years

    You sure about that?

    TSA precheck is a separate program that you have to be pre approved for.

    The Mobile passport app is nothing more than a app that allows you to process your arrival before walking up to the CBP officer for inspection. All it does is replace the little paper card or the separate kiosks in places like Miami and speeds up the process since they have your information and answers in advance and you can bypass the longer separate processing lines.

    If you are getting TSA precheck it is from a source other than the mobile passport app.


    I will pay that $20 a year for the convenience of Global entry and especially TSA Pre-check every time.

    Exactly. Global Entry isn't about getting through CHI quickly - it's about getting through Homeland Security to our gates quickly.

    I think your confused. Mobile passport only been around since 2016 so how can that be the only thing you have ever done

    TSA pre-check is a completely different program totally separate from passport control and are in 2 separate parts of the airport.

    TSA-precheck is in the security part of the airport.

    So your going through airport security with your mobile passport app? LOL I think not


    I guess your the only guy on earth to get it without having to go through the TSA enrollment process. Lucky man

    I used TSA pre-check only once. TSA guys treated me like some kind of VIP (Man, if they only knew...)

    Most times I don't use it because I can't remember my passport number when I'm booking the flights. After that it's not an option.

    All those pre flight security programs are useless to me because none of them will keep me from getting x-rayed, wanded and patted down 3 times before flying into the USA from Istanbul.

    With American, United and Delta and any other participating airline, there is a place to put that information in with your profile and it's not your passport id that you would put in.

    You have a PAASID number or known traveler number that you put in that identifies you as being in the program

    Then it is all automatic after that. Prints the little TSA icon on the boarding ticket or shows up in your airline app boarding pass.

    Most airports I been to your not even getting into the pre-check line without showing some one that you have it.

    Re: 06/2012 - Global entry

    Global Entry is good for getting TSA Pre....

    As far as coming into the country it will work 1 out of 10 trips....so worth it for me.....

    Most of the times you get through customs quick but then have to wait for your luggage....For guys like WNM who do carryon for a 2 week trip you can save time...

    Also you can save time when you get your luggage and they have a global entry line to get out of the terminal...but lately in JFK there is no global entry line for that and they just let you through...

    It can save you that once out of 10 times...when I was in Newark and I went through in 2 mintues and waited for m buddy without global entry for 45 minutes.....

    Still worth getting for 100 bucks....

    Re: 06/2012 - Global entry

    I have never flown into a single US airport that Global entry wasn't faster than normal processing.

    especially Miami. No way in hell your ever getting through quicker there

    With global entry they will ask you very few questions and in about 40 trips since i have had global entry my bags have not been search a single time.
    Plus I like not having to answer hardly any questions about my travels

    TSA pre-check is not always terribly fast since more and more people use it but it will almost always be faster than regular processing.

    Plus you don't have to remove stuff from your bag or take your shoes off even if they make you go through the regular line.

    For me it's the difference between standing in line with the rest of the cattle or hanging around the gate area with the rest of the cattle. It's entertainment, either way.

    While I'm waiting I play this little game in my head: "Wouldn't hit that..wouldn't hit that..wouldn't hit that..Hell Yeah I'd smash that..nope..nope..yup, but only with her face in the pillow..."
