Hey you know April vacation and summer vacation will be on us before you know it and if you intend to fly this may just lessen the hassle of getting through the airport security...some. If you’ve flown recently, you might have noticed that some people move through security without even taking their shoes off. Foot odor they can detect from behind the desk you think....but no, those people are on the TSA pre-check list and have paid a small annual fee for the privilege of avoiding some of the hassles.  And it is not just your shoes, you can keep on your belts and they let you keep the liquids in your carry-on.  Now before you get completely excited you do have to fill out and on-line form, submit fingerprints and ID to have your background cleared to enjoy this privileged.
