You might want to look into Pre-check. GE/NEXUS/SENTRI holders are eligible. GE is $100/5 years, I think some credit cards - AMEX? - and some airlines (UA elites) reimburse the cost.

If you're a frequent flier elite with one of the major airlines (not WN, though), you might be eligible through your status.

Caution: GE will get you Pre-check. On any given flight, it's not guaranteed, some folks have higher success rates than others, not available at all checkpoints - it's a work in progress. Right now, it does mean 'expedited' screening - keep your shoes on, kippie bag doesn't have to come out, WTMD.

Note: there is no guarantee that it will always lead to the WTMD. Right now, AFAIK, it's a dedicated WTMD lane where available. I suspect at some point in the future, all WTMD's will be replaced with some form of NoS.

Search this forum for info on pre-check for more information on how it works, people's experiences, where it's available (airports, specific checkpoints).

Probably better bang for your buck than CLEAR.
