Gonna fly have your background checked!



Want to fly then expect your background to be checked. If this can keep me out of the damn wand line and get me through check-in faster I am all for it. I am sure though a bunch of people are not going to like this. I am also sure that it will end up in court. But the Airlines are private companies and have to comply with federal laws but like a restaurant that has a sign that says shoes and shirt required you may see a sign that says federal background check required before boarding. This will be hard to be enforced on foreign inbound flights. So I am sure we are going to here a lot more about this before it’s over. [Wired]
