I guess I can't argue with that.

If you fly Delta a lot on domestic US routes, you can enroll in CLEAR to skip the line for the TSA agent to scan your photo ID and check your ticket\boarding pass.
It will cost you $99\year, but it's worth it, if you fly frequently within US. It isn't applicable for international flights though.
