TSA to expedite airport security screening for $100 fee

What? So if I tip you a hundred bucks, no pat down?

Those who wish to avoid body scanners and pat-downs at airports can pay $100 to opt into a Transportation Security Administration expedited security screening program.

“It’s pay to play,” aviation analyst Michael Boyd said on MSNBC. “I don’t know how much it is going to do for security, but is a one time fee as far as I know.”

Currently, only selected frequent flyers and Customs and Border Protection Trusted Travelers are eligible to participate in the TSA’s PreCheck program.

Those who are accepted can keep their shoes, belts and jackets on as they walk through a metal detector. They are also allowed to keep laptops and liquids in carry-on bags.

Searching the same 200,000 people twice a week is a bit redundant.

They do it at land borders and they do it at Disneyland.

Are you new to the continent?

I haven't traveled in a long time. I did have several hundred thousand miles on my AA card though. I can not imagine O'Hare, or Atlanta with TSA efficiently patting every butt in the place. It must take hours just to get through the lines.
No thanks I'll just use my car.

I just wanted to use the title.
