A couple times they ask to see it. Does anyone else have awkward situations like this? Seems like they're trying to enforce the access rules and I wonder if it will help or hurt these situations.
I know many of the GS agents in ORD and am often greeted by Hello Mr. Zambonisk but on more than one occasion I've been asked if I'm GS when trying to skip the huddled masses waiting in the PRE-Check line if I don't know any of the GS agents. Don't know about others but I'd rather they police this so others don't abuse it.
