I believe in working smarter, not harder. To some degree, there's some good behind a registered traveler program. However, there are some pitfalls, too. Technology is a wonderful thing until it breaks down or experiences "glitches" and "hiccups." Having to wait until your webpage downloads on your computer is a minor inconvenience. Letting someone inside the sterile area without realizing that there was a software glitch in the eye scanner or some other technological whizz-bang wonder toy is a disaster in the making. I'm not opposed to technology. I'm opposed to relying on technology without working out all the bugs and without having some sort of human follow-up or check-and-balance.

I'm curious how many folks in here will defend this technical alternative to regular screening. I'm willing to be that many are motivated by convenience, real or imagined, that it promises rather than any sound or logical concept of security.

But alas, I have just peed in the pool with that last comment.

Give me your best shot.
