You're right that it is none of the government's business to know who travels domestically unless someone opts in. If they do, that is that person's business and we of course have no right to act as big brother to tell them they can not opt in if they choose.
True .... but when the trade off is generally going to be between a gov't-private party collusion to extort money or suffer a worse experience than is currently the case (i.e., airport authority + CLEAR-type companies push out the premium traveller airline security lines), then we of course have every right to do what we legally can to resist this kind of CLEAR nonsense.
