To me, it's still guilty until proven innocent, since I'm still subjected to more intensive screening at least once.

Why irises, rather than fingerprints? What if someone if wearing contact lenses? I'm curious to hear your personal thoughts on irises versus fingerprints.
I think you make some incorrect assumptions. I do not believe irises will be scanned. More than likely it will involve fingerprints, besides other things.

And why do you think you will be screened with the "more intensive screening" to get on the "whitelist"? If people are vetted, I do not think it will happen at a checkpoint. Will most likely be a program people apply to be in (may even involve a fee!).
