Tony Becker @tony.nacho.org · 23/03/2026In fairness, Atlanta TSA sort of looked like this before. I had TSA Pre and a friend I was traveling with did not.

Tony Becker @tony.nacho.org · 30/10/2025Only someone who fundamentally does not understand anything about health insurance would make this suggestion.
