TSA to expand speedier screening — for a fee

http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/2013/07/19/tsa-screening-pre-check-global-entry-dulles-indianapolis/2568101/

"But TSA Administrator John Pistole announced Friday the agency will expand eligibility for the program to include travelers who pay a one-time fee of $85 for five years, to cover an application with identifying information such as address and birthplace, a background check and fingerprinting."

Would you be willing to pay $85 and give the TSA/Homeland Security your information in exchange for the possibility (no guarantee) of speedier screening?

This occurs at a railroad station and the TSA person is NOT at work.

According to the TSA website you can't take a cue stick as a carry on.

Airport Security Without the Hassle

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/28/opinion/sunday/airport-security-without-the-hassle.html?_r=1&

"The chance of dying in an airplane is vanishingly small. The chance of being killed by a terrorist in an airplane is smaller still. Mark Stewart, a civil engineer who studies probabilistic risk, has put the odds at one in 90 million a year. Looking at these figures dispassionately, one might wonder if the Transportation Security Administration has found the right balance between safety and convenience with its notoriously burdensome airport screening procedures."

Bolding mine.....
