So, it's a PRIVATE company. But to bypass the TSA queue, there must be gummint authorization for it.
Shameless. Sucks. At ANY price, no one should be given a leg-up. There should be no need, and therefore, not even any desire to gain such an advantage.
Seems to me, the gummint is using a shortage of TSA workers as cover, in order to allow and even promote the concept of paying an extra fee in order to get expedited service. But ALL of us deserve swift, efficient service, jumping through the airport Security hoops. This kinda stuff is fecal.
