TSA takes first steps toward 'trusted travel' program

now before you pack your bags and get your ticket there are somethings you need to know from the link

Under "trusted traveler" programs, travelers voluntarily surrender more information about themselves, giving the government more assurances of who they are.

DNA test? what color under wear you wear, how is the 5th pres of the US, ok so it is not in the article but one can guess what they will ask, not just your height nor weight
When does it start?

The pilot program will begin this fall.

is this open to all? no

During the first phase of testing, certain frequent fliers and all members of Custom and Border Protection's Trusted Traveler programs, including Global Entry, SENTRI, and NEXUS who are U.S. citizens, will be eligible to participate.

what air ports and air lines?

The pilot test is based on U.S. customs programs and initially will be available only to certain participants in the customs program and a limited number of air travelers. Those include certain frequent fliers on two airlines -- American and Delta -- flying out of certain airports. Delta passengers must be flying out of Atlanta and Detroit airports, and American Airlines passengers must be flying out of Miami and Dallas airports.

well it is a start, not free from TSA just yet.

That sounds interesting. I heard about this once before but did not give it much credit, I will certainly pay attention now.

Interesting...

I might do it... I fly out of Miami constantly on American Airlines. Fees and exactly how far they want to shove the Hubble Telescope up my butt and for what benefit remains to be seen...

I always take the scenic route when travelling,from the seat of a motorcycle.Takes longer than flying but the end result is the same .Cold and lonely with a sore bum

sounds similar to the EZ pass Americans and Canadians can buy to make the border crossing more efficient.
