Marcy travels the world. She travels across the country. She even travels to Minnesota. And yet, despite all available evidence, she remains too frugal to buy herself TSA PreCheck.
Because friendship sometimes means intervening when a person refuses to spend a modest amount of money to dramatically improve an activity they do all the time.
Every year, Marcy selflessly goes places, takes photos, sends them to us, and gives the rest of us something to look at while we are sitting at home doing considerably less interesting things.
She visits faraway lands. She visits fascinating cities. She visits Minnesota.
And before every one of these journeys, she willingly enters the regular TSA security line like a person who has never heard of convenience.
We have explained TSA PreCheck. We have described the shorter lines. We have mentioned the shoes. We have discussed the laptop situation.
None of this has overcome Marcy's deeply held belief that paying money for herself is an unnecessary extravagance.
So the community must act.
Help Marcy keep her shoes where nature intended: on her feet.
Support the radical idea that her laptop might remain inside her bag.
We cannot continue living like this.
You and one other hero can personally end this crisis.
Single-handedly rescue Marcy from years of avoidable inconvenience.
Share the link and continue judging her financial priorities from afar.
A developing situation.
We informed Marcy that TSA PreCheck costs less than many airport meals. She changed the subject.
Sources confirm Marcy has once again purchased airfare without purchasing PreCheck. The situation is deteriorating.
We are approaching a future in which Marcy can walk past us in the PreCheck line looking unbearably smug.
For roughly the price of one regrettable airport lunch, Marcy can join the ranks of people who stand in a different, slightly faster line.
