Good news!

Hmmm, not really.

What amazes me about this article is that it treats crewpass as a brand new system that needs "testing". Newsflash...it's been around in several airports for several years now, and has been successfully tested. Expanding it to include 7 additional airports is hardly progress after 2-3 years.

The whole "testing" concept exists so that the TSA can say "we're testing it!", then never actually evaluate it, and therefore never expand the program, hoping it eventually dies off.

Sorry to be a debbie downer....but that's my $0.02.

That begs the question. If they are just content with "testing"; why even expand CrewPASS?

To quell the most recent (November 2010) rabble rousing from pilots concerning screening.

It actually is a new system. The only "old" part is the link to CASS. It consists of a new vendor, using new servers. Hence, making sure the new components work.
