Here is a government run program where people are trusted and vetted, so that they can be admitted into the country without even talking or seeing an agent, yet the TSA wants to molest you to get on a plane to travel within the country. Stupidity at work.
Their trusted traveler program should mirror the CBP, but I'm sure they will screw it up in its entirety and make life h#ll for everyone involved. (especially when they continue to lose the data they have taken both voluntarily and involuntarily through the airlines, etc)
