I'm usually given priority by the airline

TSA precheck just moves you through the security line quicker...right?

I'm saying, a checked bag still goes through security

...in addition to whatever you pass through the scanners in your carry on...

I literally can't carry on my demo equipment

...and everytime, there's the little insert that TSA leaves behind when they go through your bag...

They may not be intentionally checking for 'drugs', but best believe if you have a bunch on shit in your suitcase...TSA is going through it.

I did sign up for Clear, but didn't need to use it enough in order to cough up subscription $$$
