Something I didn't realize about the TWIC card

It functions the same as preCheck in airports.

Straight from the TSA

I know it's old information for a lot of people, but I just found this out so just putting it out for those who may have missed that info.

"Qualifying Transportation Worker
Identification Credential (TWIC®)
holders are now eligible for TSA
PreCheckTM at no cost and no extra
enrollment. The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) has identified
efficiencies across vetting programs,
eliminating redundancies, and reducing
the administrative and cost burdens to
applicants for vetting and credentialing.
The TWIC® Program is a regulated
vetting program that requires TSA to
conduct a Security Threat Assessment
(STA) to determine if an individual
requiring specific transportation-related
access poses a threat to national or
transportation security. Given the
similarity to the threat assessment
performed on TSA PreCheck members,
many TWIC® applicants meet the
criteria for the TSA PreCheck
Application Program and may be
eligible for expedited security screening.
In addition to having a valid STA, the
credential holder must meet citizenship
and residency requirements, and the
credential must have been approved
without a waiver. TWIC® cardholders
must use an active TWIC® Credential
Identification Number (CIN) that has not
been canceled. The CIN is printed on
the back lower left-hand corner of the
TWIC® card."
