Pay to get around TSA (background check)

I saw the news scroll on my local news indicating that passengers can pay for a background check that would allow them to bypass TSA quicker. Since we, as pilots, have this check done, would that apply to us as well with our pilot's license?

Edit to better describe thread

I know they've been talking about a trusted traveller program but I don't know if it's ever been implemented. I sure would like for them to do that.

It's funny. I've been cleared to operate an airplane out of the DC3 and thus am allowed to fly in some of the most restricted airspace out there, but I can't be trusted to put my butt on a commercial flight. :insane:

That's because the TSA has been getting anonymous reports about you that I have no knowledge of.

HAHAHAHA, now that's funny. Yesterday I got the full wand and pat down while in full uniform with ID (that set off the hand wand and wasn't given a second glance by the TSA guy). The whole time I was participating in this fun activity, I was thinking about the crash axe right behind my seat and the flares right next to me in the flight deck. Not to mention the fact that I already have control of the airplane.
