We already have massive security holes today with through-the-fence operations, unscreened cargo, etc. Until those holes are plugged, I see little-to-no added risk in permitting members of Nexus and Global Entry to use a simplified screening lane with WTMD only, shoes on, laptops in, and no liquid restrictions - essentially pre-9/11 security with random pulls (designated electronically, a la YYZ) for more thorough checks.

Access can be granted by a gating system opened with the Nexus/GE iris scan system, or a separate line leading to the simplified screening lane.
