The Transportation Security Administration says those signing up for the Registered Traveler (RT) program, which gives security lane benefits at select airports, will no longer need to fork over $28 for a security screening. Apparently, the RT screening “largely duplicates the watch list matching that is conducted on all travelers every time they fly,” the TSA says. As the Economist’s Gulliver blog pointed out, it’s very convenient that they’ve realized this now, after 135,000 people have paid the fee.
