Since they're charging for it I would call this program a consumer product. As a consumer product, it doesn't get me anything. A maybe shorter line? The airlines and airports are slowly but surely taking care of that by introduction of elite lines, which I feel work very well at the locations where they are available.

Shorter lines mean nothing at most small and medium airports where there is routinely only one security line open. Are they going to guarantee that even at the smallest airport there will always be a seperate line, even if only a few people per day use it? If there isn't a seperate line, can a Trusted Traveler cut in to the one line like airline and airport employees do? If so, then maybe it's worth something.

It would be worth something, regardless of lines, if you received a credintial that you could hand to the first screener and would allow you to keep your shoes on, take all the water and toothpaste you can fit into your carryon bag through, no need to take your computer out of the bag, and never a secondary search. If you're trusted you're trusted, so no need for any of the theatre.

As is, of the little I personally have experienced with this program (early beta test via American Airlines at National a couple of years ago) it really gets you nothing of value on a daily basis.
