DFW airport travel advice

[Prince of Purpoole II]

Where is that guy?

As I recall he left in a huff. Or huffily.

I'd recommend coupling TSA Precheck with Clear like myself...but I want to keep those lines short and quick.

I thought both offered the same thing. What is the difference?

One includes a complimentary cavity search.

I think he got mad that Dykes hired Briles-connected coaches and gave up on the program and/or University in general. Stuck to his principles at least.

Last time I flew was in March spent 11 days on a cruise and some time in Puerto Rico. I checked various ways to travel to the airport and park, and used DFW Prepark. It was cheaper than Uber abot half the price for parking and you can park anywhere. I will probably use that from here on. The closer to time to travel is not as good a deal as planning a month or so ahead.

Also i read that in johnny carsons voice...actually dana carvey doing johnny carson..

Is this different than the Trinity rail express? That looks like it drops you off at Centerpoint not very close to DFW. Or is this a completely different train?

Clear uses biometrics to effectively skip the TSA precheck line by scanning your eyes as your ID....you just need to scan your boarding pass and eyes and they escort you past the TSA person straight to the xray machines. Literally takes 60 seconds to get all the way thru...freaking love it.

Thanks for the information. I’ve got shifty eyes. I wonder if it will still work?

People worry that a shot will insert a Bill Gates designed tracker into their body, but have no problem allowing “the Gov’ment” scan their eye as a means of Identification. Lol. Can’t make this [ Finebaum ] up.

I suddenly have to travel to Tallahassee on Friday. Have not flown in years. Any recent travelers out of DFW please let me know if processing and security lines are outrageous so I can gauge how early to arrive. Flight is scheduled to depart at 12:35 local @ American Airlines terminal B. Thanks.

two hours early. You’ll be fine.

What about Hungry Eyes?

Totally different train line. Can catch either one at the T&P station downtown. Free parking underneath I-30.

I can see the difference. Eyes are like next level to fingerprints. Don't care for trackers or experimental drugs in my body either, guess that makes me a conspiracy theorist.

I get all this.

But like nearly everyone I also carry a phone around so I’ve ceded all my privacy to our corporate overlords at google, Amazon, meta, etc. I’m too boring for the government but probably get exploited by big corps all the time.

I’m pretty sure there are signs telling you “no over night parking”.

I figure Agent Smith or whoever is watching me is bored silly.
