Practically -- as you clearly seem to imply
-- this will not avoid all of the hassle that is air travel now. What are the odds that all it will take is one news report of a dog or terrorist's name getting the "card" and some politician will have an axe to grind on this matter?
... in any event, when the insecure become more paranoid, then all bets are off. Then the hassle that is air travel now will not be remedied by this protection racket.
