(3) and (b) are particularly interesting.

The unnamed 'Administrator' can issue known traveler numbers to members of a 'population designated by the Administrator as known and low-risk' - with no requirement for biographic or biometric information, ie, no background check of any sort.

Seriously? An unnamed administrator can hand out KTNs to anyone he has designated 'low risk' without a background check?

Did he start with his immediate family and circle of friends?


(b) "In carrying out subsection (a), the Administrator shall ensure that expedited airport security screening remains available to passengers at or above the level that exists on the day before the date of the enactment of this Act."

That doesn't seem to line up with airports that offer Pre less and less often, but it's not like HQ tells FSDs what to do anyway.

Well, it may tell them what to do, but it doesn't enforce it.
