Well other than the $132.50 the TWIC process was pretty painless. About 2 weeks ago I went online and pre-registered and set my appointment up for the opening day here in Jacksonville. I had a 1300 time slot so I got there about 1230 to people watch and see if it was running smoothly or not. The office was in a run down old warehouse with weeds as high as my truck, so we know the millions that Lockheed got must have went somewhere other than real estate and landscaping. It was the typical civil servant type crowd manning the place--very formal manuscript-ed lines, do you have ID, payment -we take MC or Visa with a point to the two logos over her head. Yes,Yes. Then I  filled out a piece off paper that I had no idea what the hell they were asking me to check yes or no about, because it all referenced a CFR so I assumed it was criminal record stuff and I checked no. The pre-register paper work I got gave me a 20 minute time slot for the process. They called my name and led me back to guy in a curtan cubical he took my money, finger prints and picture then had me confirm the info I provided online and sent me on my way it took about ten minutes from the time my name was called till I walked out the door. I already feel safer:)
