That's far, far fewer that I had guessed. He's never going to get the "millions more" that Pistole said last fall were needed in order for PreCheck to work as envisioned.
One very real example: if you were a frequent flyer - or even an infrequent flyer with a family - who flies out of PHX, would you pony up $85/yr/pax for a service that is rarely and inconsistently available?
