Even with the Registered traveller program, the reg'd travellers still have to go through the WTMD and luggage scan x-ray. They just don't get the SSSSpecial treatment.
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.
I'm against it on principle; but in practice -- the gov't already has so much on me giving an iris scan to EDS won't hurt too much. It may get me through the lines quicker...
