In my opinion, the challenge of such a program will be avoiding assigning such a score to those people.
Or it will be rolled into a new TSA-managed version of 'RealID'. Everyone will be required to have a RealID and everyone will have a 'risk score' assigned.
Unfortunately, if TSA's in charge, there will still be the problem of false/erroneous data with no recourse for the pax. And although I agree, risk assessment should be based on a total picture, positives and negatives, but I absolutely don't see that happening. Nor do I see any likelihood of being able to address (and clear up) any incorrect or mistaken information.
