The last several times we traveled we were randomly selected for TSA Precheck. Definitely prefer it. When I heard they were going to not allow random selections I looked into the options. The Global Entry seemed best for us as we also do some international travel and our normal return airports have extremely long immigration lines it seems. Did the application, quick appointment for interview, interview was no problem, and got the cards in the mail very quickly. Don't know how well they will work. Will find out in December when we fly on our next international trip.
