My interpretation is that being on the list just means you won't have to go through secondaries of the SSSS sort.
The problem with personal interpretations is that they may or may not correspond with a given screener's interpretation of the rubric. Remember that screeners have discretion to send you secondary for merely
acting suspiciously, whatever that means ... _to them_. "Do you want to fly today?" Enuf said.
Does anyone honestly believe this $200 RTC is a free pass for anything (other than sanctioning this security nonsense)? Burn this dictum into your memory: There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.
That $200 will not buy your freedom, it's long been appropriated from us.
