How does paying $85 ensure that one is not a danger re air travel? Wouldn’t a nefarious person be sure to pay it while a person unable to afford extra costs be treated like a potential terrorist?
For those who fly at least a few times a year, it’s worth the extra $$ to go through baggage check instead of standing in line. TSA does a background check before giving you clearance. You can’t receive your pass unless they approve you ahead of time.
