Tom Ridge, former secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and co-chair of the U.S. Travel Association's Blue Ribbon Panel on Aviation Security, said in a report by the panel, "We've been talking for years about establishing a screening system that takes risk into account. Creating a trusted traveler program is, without a doubt, one of the best ways to control the cost of aviation security." (The entire report can be downloaded here.)

A federal court has ruled against a group of 19 airlines that claimed the U.S. government overcharged them for passenger screening. The lawsuit concerned fees for 2000, which the TSA said were $420 million. Airlines argued that the amount was actually $305 million. The court ruled that TSA’s figures were reasonable.
