There should be NO secondary harassment w/o probable cause - period! No trusted traveler program is needed. Everyone walks thru the magnetometer and puts their stuff through the x-ray. After that, the only people who should be further scrutinized are those who do not pass both of these checks.
We should not have to belong to the trusted traveler club just to put a stop to these insane harassments that should never have begun in the first place!!!

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.
