The Registered Traveler Program is a significant step forward in the effort to balance aviation security and traveler convenience. It's a win-win proposition for consumers, businesses, airports, airlines and for the government. While travelers enjoy a more relaxing, less time consuming security screening process, the government can focus its security resources on more likely potential threats.

My hope is you can go into Starbucks, buy your paper and coffee, and go through the security line with one card.
