The $100 might not be the issue with many people. Surrendering your biometrics and your personal info...all to cut in front of the line? Please.

Think how "fast" it was for the puffer deployment. That's probably how fast those GE machines will be rolled out.

And this has the HUGE potential to backfire. They're going to have a SINGLE lane for this?

They're still going to check your ID and BP for the airline's revenue protection. No time saver there.

I do think a lot of business travelers are going to do this. Thus, that single line is going to be long in itself. Are they going to open up more of those lines, and reduce capacity for Ma and Pa Kettle? That has the potential of being another PR nightmare for the TSA. And bad PR is the only way the TSA has ever backed off of something.

So, in a way, I guess I'm endorsing this extortion without actually paying for it.
