T.W.I.C. Card for Charter Captains

If you want to get more pissed, try using it going thru the airport. They look at it like you have 2 heads. And this is an ID given by the TSA. And they are catching on real slow.

TSA = THOUSANDS STANDING AROUND!!!

BTW, Ronnie mentioned this, there is another one coming. Not sure the cost. It is called the MMCR. Merchant Mariner Credential. Again this should just apply to guys like me sailing deep sea but you just watch, like the twic everyone will need it. What this will do is put ALL your documentation in one booklet. Sounds great, but at what cost.????

I had heard that the MMC will replace the paper license that they currently hand out?
