If there's not a catch to this program, it seems like a great deal for the consumer. Some of the ad bags actually look like they have cool designs.

This is a great compehensive post. Time to try and cash the money order that you've been holding! LOL

TSA's Pre-check program has enrolled a million "trusted travelers" in its program, designed to speed up processing at airport security.

TSA's Pre-Check, which allows travelers to pass through airport security without having to remove shoes, unpack laptops and generally move faster, will focus on passengers directly enrolled in the program, or in other government "Trusted Traveler"...

Cash is still king for some travelers, but these guys took it to another level, traveling with big sacks of Scandinavian coins.

About half of all Americans say they avoid checking a bag when they fly.

I cannot agree with some of your statements. For instance, I remember a trip to Southern India where we met another couple who had booked the same private tour, but they had gone for the significantly more expensive luxury option whereas we had chosen home-stays.
