My point is about the post-9/11 hassle-factor (secondary screenings regardless of setting-off the magnometers, feel-ups, riduculous list of proscribed items in carry-ons, etc.). A trusted traveler ID should allow one to bypass this particular part of the nonsense.

I know, it sounds like 'too bad for innocent infrequent travelers', but since they're the ones who favor this current set-up let 'em have their cake. Just don't expect me to choke it down without a fight. It's not called elite status for nothing.
