That's great. Except:

> The TSA PreCheck® Application Program is only open to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals and lawful permanent residents. [...] Global Entry, NEXUS, and SENTRI allow some foreign citizens to apply.

So I guess screw those other people, right?

It’s not about screwing people, it’s about database access.

Countries administer their own version of these trusted traveller programs for their residents since it relies on the ability to perform a mini-background check using that country’s customs and law enforcement databases and apparatus.

I don’t get reciprocal fast-entry in other countries unless they have an agreement with the US, so while it’s a bit inconvenient for me, and I wish more did, I make no fuss about EU nationals blazing through the Schengen line when I’m in the slow one. I would do the same in their place.
