Seriously? An unnamed administrator can hand out KTNs to anyone he has designated 'low risk' without a background check?
This sounds like a great provision. The population of air travelers is "known" (the TSA has their names) and "low-risk," since the share of travelers who intend harm is vanishingly small. So, the Administrator could (in a sane world) designate all travelers as Precheck qualified tomorrow.
