HIGHLY amusing watching this

I'd say the same for the sudden reversal on children under 12.

What next? Maybe, for a $500 annual fee, frequent fliers can go through a NEXUS-like advance security check (profiling), receive their card and buy their way out of the line. Government are always looking for new sources of revenue.
