I will not be surprised if he gets on board for some ridiculously expensive new piece of hardware in a desperate effort to improve red team scores.
It will be interesting to watch what he does with Pre. I personally have always wondered if TSA ever analyzed the pax base before predicting how many people would sign up and how much money that would generate. Now it's possibly the most inconsistent and unpredictable element in a messy situation.
Revenue generation should not even be in TSA's vocabulary. Effective and efficient security screening should be the focus of TSA. That does not mean throwing megabucks at the issue.
I'm afraid if the suspected cause of the Russian airliner downing is confirmed that TSA will invent some new draconion procedure to further abuse travelers.
