i vaguely remember being a kid and going there on a lark and watching the planes. now it’s austere and cruel and cold, cops everywhere, plexiglass and line ropes
Pre check is amazing. The biggest worry I ever have about dealing with security lines anymore is that everyone else will sign up for it and it’ll get just as bad as the regular line.
Once at SFO the precheck line was as long if not longer than the regular security line, but it still moved significantly faster. Don’t panic too much if the precheck line is long! Not having to unload electronics out of bags and such seems to make it quick even if there’s high volume.
