TSA Fingerprinting
Well I signed up for a Lear 35 Type rating with 55 Differences. This meant that I was required to submit my fingerprints to the TSA. Having paid my $130 I was provided a list of participating faciltities that would happily fingerprint me as well as having the choice of attending local law enforcement establishments. The difference between attending a sherriffs office or an independent facility is of course, cost; the sherriff charges $15 and the independents charge $100. However the independents take your prints electronically while the sherriff uses old fashioned ink and card. At the sherriffs you have to provide the cards.
Well I opted for the independents and chose Jetblue's facilty. As you would expect from Jetblue they were very professional and efficient. In and out of the door in less than 30 minutes; most of the time spent filling out paper work.
So my prints are yet with another agency as well as DHS, CBP, FBI etc. It is a shame that these government agencies can't talk to each other since it would save time and money. Still I shouldn't moan, it all went smoothly. All that is need needed know is an email saying that I can commence the training. So far so good. Lets start studying.
