    One thing I've noticed recently at SEA is that there appears to be some sort of privatized PreCheck. I've had some guy come around with brochures for the company offering minimal l…

    You don't just sign up to be a resident in another country. You have to be invited. I know its fun to say "Screw this! I'm moving to Canada", but it doesn't work like that.
