Have global entry but...
So lets understand this, US homeland security grants me global entry to enter the country electronically thru a border, but TSA won't let me skip the remove hardware from bag test? Where is the logic in that? Oh - forgot the govt
I signed up anyway, let's see if the citizenship test is enforced.

I am a UA 1K and part of Global Entry. Does anyone know how to apply to this program or do I have to wait to be invited? I am not quite clear. I am based out of ORD so this would be great.

Once the new website is launched, you'll be able to input your TT ID # into your MileagePlus profile. ORD is scheduled to start TT for UA at the end of March, so you should be able to use it at that time, assuming that you get the "LLL" when the TSA clerk scans your BP.

You should input your Trusted Traveler Pass ID if you have one. (Global Entry members should have one.)

Makes sense. Of course, restricting this to US citizens is a perfect way of separating the terrorists from those who deserve to be spared the indignity of taking their shoes off 
I hope other countries will retaliate and send non-citizen travellers to the Nude-o-scope.

People using TSA pre-check
I'm a travel writer for the Seattle Times and would like to hear from a few people using TSA's pre-check at airports where it is in use. Also any Alaska Airlines frequent flyers who have been contacted. E-mail me at [email protected]. Thanks

I find it interesting that they can still "unpredictably" harass you with the requirements and actually won't promise you that you won't be harassed again.
Seems like a lot to give for a chance of not getting harassed.
I have a better idea: how about actually having effective security, get rid of the idiocy, and get people thru the line quickly and effectively?
Yeah, I know. It'll never happen.

That was something that annoyed me, too. I believe the language is something like, "You may be referred to the Pre-Check line..."

Now lets hope that it survives the merge of OP and MP accounts

I don't see it that way. This is still a pilot program, and it makes sense to start with a narrow scope before expanding it out. Even in the long term, I have no problem with them targeting only US citizens for this program. I wouldn't necessarily expect to be eligible for such programs as a non-citizen, were I to travel abroad. Maybe they'll allow non-citizens participating in a TT program to be eligible, but if they do, you can bet it will be a long way down the road and that it will start, again, with a very narrow scope before expanding it out.

Who do you think uses global entry, nexus etc.,those programs have significant screening requirements, hence the pre-requisite for this. The very foundation of those programs is trusted international travelers, a higher bar than domestic. To exclude a subset makes no logical sense.
And they're not excluding just that subset. In fact, I'd argue that - thus far - they've only included a small subset of all potentially qualified travelers.
