And, as a scientist, I see nothing wrong with the concept of a one-airport test ("pilot") program. Far better to test it at one airport first, and make an honest assessment as to whether or not it makes sense to deploy nationwide.
(Insert your own snide remark about "honest assessment" here.)
I won't even go as far as a remark about assessment. They don't have an assessment for their test, they're going to implement it regardless. Test is just a word they add to give the appearance of propriety.
