TSA Express Screening Program

Fliers averaging two or more trips a month could ask for an extensive background check and, once cleared, would get a "registered traveler" card with a biometric identifier from a fingerprint scan or a measurement of the eye.

Question is, would this be available for non US citizens? I already have something similar for US Customs and Immigration (INS Pass). Of course, some of the largest airports already have priority lines for frequent travellers, although you go through the same security checks as everyone else.

Boston Logan Airport stops work at 8:30PM

Really it does ... at least if you are flying on American. Even the Admirals Club closes at 8:30 ... Starbucks too ... all the food court ... Sheesh! And as far as I could find only the Admirals Club had a TMobile hotspot I could get ... I had to cut my work short as I waited until my 9:40 PM American Eagle flight. 8:30 PM ... unbelievable!
