Yesterday I made a special trip to the Newark Airport to conduct my in-person interview for TSA Pre.
It seemed like a good idea when I signed up a couple of weeks ago. Interviews are only conducted at Newark and JFK — not my usual LaGuardia — so I opted for Newark since I can get there easily enough by train.
Then the heavens opened up.
It was raining cats and dogs yesterday morning. The trains were all delayed. Even the tram at Newark was stopping and starting due to the weather.
So, needless to say, I was about seven minutes late for my interview, and the TSA doesn’t wait for anyone. They would only interview me if they had another ‘no-show.’ (Thankfully, that happened within 30 minutes.)
The interview itself took about five minutes, and I was approved — woo hoo! But if you see my ID, I won’t look happy about it.
The TSA doesn’t allow you to smile.
