NEXUS & TSA Precheck

So during our recent trip (driving) to Canada my husband did some research on the NEXUS program and TSA Pre-check.  Mostly because the wait at the border was 50 minutes going up and about 2 hours coming back, and he saw people breezing through the Nexus lane.  Anyway, his research (as usual) was enlightening.

I like when I drive and he does research!

Turns out, when you apply for NEXUS online most of the options include TSA Pre-check.  So, if you're going to be traveling to and from Canada you should check out The Department of Homeland Security's information on NEXUS (well in advance) before you go.  You might just save a little money and time!

Things my hubby noted regarding the program:

1. Everyone in the car must have the NEXUS pass in order to go through the NEXUS line.
2. The memberships are valid for 5 years.

If you have NEXUS or TSA Pre-check we'd love to hear your experience traveling with them.  Worth it or not?
