Travel much? Hmmm... Bad Idea. V. Bad Idea.

"Prescreened passengers can fly through airports

To avoid lengthy lines and body searches at U.S. airports, passengers may subject themselves to extensive background checks and be labeled “trusted travelers,” beginning June 20. Critics, including the ACLU, say the Registered Traveler program of the Transportation Security Administration will cause lines to grow longer for travelers not pre-cleared, and that the program will cost each flier an additional $80 to $100 annually. Besides, they say, terrorists using fake identities will become “trusted travelers” too. "
