TWIC

I finally got my TWIC card. I received a phone message about a month ago that it was ready, but appointments were pretty booked until now. I picked it up this morning. It takes about 15 minutes. You wait 5 minutes for them to find the card, and then it takes at least 10 minutes for the card to be programmed. They send data to Washington to get the card programmed. You need to select a 6 to 8 digit pin number, so you might want to have one in mind ahead of time. Just like the DPS office, they have a knack for taking the ugliest pictures known to man.
