    I’ll bet one of the exceptions is having a bunch of money.

      I remember when travelling in the US (Im a foreigner) there was a vip pass thingy to skip lines and enter without even talking to a migration officer (I think). Really seemed like a rich person pass

        I’m Canadian and I used to have a pass like that. It was $50 at the time and valid for 5 years.

        Yeah, there are two different programs. One is for domestic flights and one is for domestic and international.

        I did the domestic flight one once because it was free with my credit card.

        But I had to fill out some forms and interview in person.

        I only got to use it once because they vip lanes were always closed.

        It’s only worth it if you need to travel a lot.

        Additionally, I’ve never really suffered long lines through airport security.

        The long lines are typically at immigrations and you can’t skip those outside of being a diplomat or private jet rich.
