I'd like to think this is a step toward more realistic screening for everybody rather than a divide-and-con approach but I have my doubts.

If I understand it correctly, it's something of a lottery ticket, quite unlike NEXUS and GE, where, as long as there's a GE kiosk or a NEXUS lane at the border crossing, the holder can use it.
