TSA takes first steps toward 'trusted travel' program
Now the question is what 'certain' frequent fliers will mean?

The TSA did this about 5 + years ago.
I was in the program out of AA at BOS.
Then it was decided to farm it out to some private companies
(like CLEAR), and that turned out to be a financial failure.
Everyone in the government is trying to do this and find a way to get revenue instead of focusing security on where it is needed.
Let Global Entry/Immigration run it. Reasonible fee and it works and we already went thru the security checks.
