I do not travel for work anymore.
I also have Clear through a credit card but I found the service to be super-shitty. Every time I tried to use it, the employee was befuddled and it didn't work and they had to lead me through the airport like I was taking a tour of the pyramids by going to some random Egyptian.

Maybe they recognize your name and they want to spend more time with a celeb? But for nobodies like me Clear is always great.
Global Entry doesn稚 do anything except get you back in the US does it?

Global Entry isn't very useful any more. Just get the Mobile Passport app.

A lot of airports don't have a separate line for Mobile Passport. My last trip in, I downloaded the app, scanned the passports, took the pictures for my wife and me all while I was on line at JFK, and saved all of ten seconds coming back to the US.
I do recall at some airports bypassing the line with global entry, using a machine and being done in 20 seconds instead of waiting on line.

Yes, it was awesome. But I haven't left the country for work since 2017, except for a little visit to Toronto.

I often have the dream that I went to what I believed was a beginner class and it was actually advanced.
This is the advanced travel class. Some basic knowledge is necessary. You may want to ask the registrar if you can late drop.
That being said, here's a picture which can help you decide if you need basic or remedial class.

We can't have nice things here.
We deserve to be a laughingstock. Look at the nut running for governor on the R side. Jan 6 participant and openly proud White Christian Nationalist. (Thankfully, he's going to lose in a landslide.)
Fucking Trump. He got all the loonies to come out in the primaries. And fucking populists. Fetterman got them to come out for him in primaries.
The Senate race should have been Connor Lamb vs. McCormick.

Re: Implanting Bill Gates's Micro-chips In Brains For Over 20 Years!
Sorry for the interruption on the site. Hopefully it's back up and running again.
When I was talking to the host, I realized this site is nearly 20 years old. We started in spring of '03. Our last upgrade was in 2018. Seems like it's relatively stable. I'm sure there are more bells and whistles that we could add, but the volume of posts probably isn't enough to justify.

I'm not super close to the race, but I'm curious what you don't like about Fetterman.

Hank woke up one day and looked outside and everything was blue.
