As a frequent traveller, I will provide any form of proof needed to ensure a safe, and easy trip. I would much rather have yet another copy of my retinas, finger prints and photos in the possession of the US governement, then to have to remove my shoes in EWR in winter. Let's lobby to get this thing done quickly, because I feel my civil liberties are much less violated this way.

Anybody who objects to the program should be forced to take late afternoon flights out of DCA on successive days, and I am sure they will change their tune!!
