What is the point of paying for TSA-pre when everyone gets it for free, and more importantly it makes the lines much longer for TSA-pre. It is a bit of a first world problem, and I know I sound like a DYKWIA but it was extremely frustrating.

I actually pay for GE but as a green card holder it only works 50% of the time. May not bother renewing my GE (and associated TSA pre).
Curious as to why you say it only works 50% of the time as a green card holder. I'm GE as well as GC holder and i love Global Entry, gone are the days with ~1hr waits at immigration.
