minus-squareDeacon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·6 days agoCorrect on both points. I’m not sure that the fees for PreCheck fully cover it, but I would struggle to imagine how it couldn’t given the way it works. It’s probably a cash cow, it’s almost put Clear out of business too. This is punitive. It’s manufacturing pain.
