TSA Announces Pilot of Trusted Traveler Program

Posted by Soulskill on from the another-day-at-the-theater dept.

Bob the Super Hamste writes "CNN reports that the TSA has announced the pilot of their trusted traveler program. This is the program where an individual gives up additional information to the government and then gets expedited security. The pilot program will only be available to certain frequent fliers on Delta passengers flying out of Atlanta and Detroit, and to American Airlines passengers flying out of Miami and Dallas. Plans are in the work to expand this to other airports and other airlines as well."

    Until I am PROVEN GUILTY of not being one. I don't have to "opt in" for what should be my no-questions-asked constitutional rights.

    I would be quite happy if they included all non-Muslims as trusted travellers, we would be just as safe as before they switched their murderous intentions to the West. Of course the PC brigade would never condone extra precautions for the people we know are a greater threat.

    Do you know yet what it is they are asking you to give up?

    Do you imagine it is more than you gave up to get

    1. into kindergarten
    2. a driver's license
    3. health insurance
    4. a credit card
    5. a passport
    6. divorced

    If you want to fly, pony up your identity. Otherwise, the rest of us do not want you invading our privacy with your underwear bomb.
