I am part of the NEXUS program, which allows you to use the TSA Pre Check. We love it. At many airports, you simply do a iris scan and away you go. You get to use trusted travellers lanes and some allow you to bypass normal security.
We use it most of the time on land crossings...they have special lanes. You merely wave the card at an IR reader, and usually they just wave you through.
If traveling within North America, no need to carry a passport, either.
