TSA Says Registered Traveler Program On the Way

Louisiana’s Daily Comet reports that a TSA-approved registered traveler program is well underway and should be available this summer.

Such programs have often sparked controversy in the past. I kind of went off about the whole thing back in January for a number of reasons that I won’t repeat here but that I think still apply.

I’m curious to hear what our readers think about a safe list. Is there any way to assure their safety, or are they the product of misplaced confidence in our ability to sort the good people from the bad based on a background check?
