I have a sneaky feeling that foreigners are never going to be able to apply for this. As a result, when 60% of the flying public is elligible, we will automatically become targets of extra-special super-duper horrible screening tactics for those of us who suspitiously have passports and speak another language.
To put it mildly, I´m not optimistic at all.
No one should have to remove shoes, liquids or laptops at the checkpoint.
