I read and saw on CNN that pre-screened flyers with FTN registration will not have to do it.

This is a non issue as you have no say over it, like everyone else you will have to submit to morons on a power trip.
Morons on a power trip..... Well I would rather submit to "morons on a power trip" than have the plan blow up!! You might feel different if you were on it!

I would NEVER put my cameras in checked baggage. I know too many people that have lost many many thousands of dollars worth of equipment that way.

$85 a year to avoid the hassle. Kinda negates any stupid claims of "for your protection" BS, doesn't it. Now, you get to get extorted to avoid being harassed in this manner. What will they come up with next. I'm waiting for the toilet paper tax, where you have to deposit a quarter for every sheet you use.
It is $85.00 for five years.

I maybe way off here, but "they" already blew up a couple of airplanes. Why would they try again? But boy, is it a good reason to F with the population, who wants to fly from point A to point B. Just saying. Is there any evidence that "they" have tried since 9/11?

Why not make all who fly pre-screened? That way we can go back to the good old days.

See? Just because of a few extremists, why should we go through all the BS at airports?
Have a good weekend.

I am not sure what "TSA Prescreen" is compared to "Global Entry," but the latter is good for 5 years! Our boarding passes are usually coded TSA Prescreen because of our travel status and age, not a fee paid.

Supposedly that is correct. If you have a FTN you should be able go through without a major hassle.
If there is a TSA precheck checkpoint.

Tip: The better deal is to sign up for "Global Entry" for $100. It is usually much faster for an initial sign-up and includes the TSA Precheck. It makes returning the the USA MUCH, MUCH faster. You go to the Global Entry kiosk and scan your passport and a fingerprint. It prints a receipt you give to the customs people and away you go. I've bypassed 45-75 minute customs lines with Global Entry. It is good for 5 years also.
Do the online application, appear at the interview site and watch a video about how things work, then a Customs Inspector will talk with you, get a digital photo and your are good to go. You also get a Global Entry wallet card they say is used only for vehicle entry from Mexico and Canada, however we have used them in Miami to go through customs when their Global Entry computers were down for some reason. They also make great ID for clearing TSA security on boarding.
