Can other new GE members chime in? Do you get special security attention on your first return to the U.S. after getting GE?
If being SSSS'd on the int'l segment is the price we have to pay for PreCheck on the domestic segment... that's a bargain that I don't care to make. At all. A domestic opt-out/grope is far better than a SSSS.
