Security - US No Fly list

[Bushfiva]

Portpass

I used to be signed up with the Portpass scheme: I could go through immigration at LAX using the aircrew lane (because the automatic Portpass machine never worked). Registration consisted of a hand scan, an ID card and $25, if I remember correctly. It's a shame people having names similar to those on no-fly lists aren't offered the option of perhaps one grilling followed by the issuance of a suitably-sophisticated ID card. I'd even pay a few bucks for that.
