I think therein lies the answer. The government (federal and state) databases already have enough information on each one of us that, put together, would provide a very good profile. The have our tax records, how long we have lived at a residence, which I'm sure is now being cross referenced in some data base, the guns we have registered, cars registered, it's all there. There should be no need to supply anything, they already have it! It should be a matter of the government gathering the information they have... then score us and we go on from there.</font>
You would probably have to consent to allowing the TSA to go through those records, even if the government already has them.
I figure that you'll have to submit your fingerprints for a criminal background check, and sign paperwork that allows the TSA or whoever is going to be in charge of establishing the trusted traveller system to go through records from the IRS, Customs, and other government agencies.
