Homeland Security 's Trusted Traveler Program Lets Mexicans Skip Airport Security
the United States has signed a “trusted traveler” agreement that allows pre-screened Mexican airline passengers to bypass lengthy airport security checkpoints.
About 84 million Mexicans are expected to qualify for the trusted traveler program, according to Mexico’s Interior Ministry Secretary, who signed the agreement on behalf of his country this week.

WE get groped leaving the country, 83 million people from Mexico can enter and bypass security.

What does that tell you about the REAL intent of the security checks?

2. The DHS doesn't even play a large role in airport security. check out that silly source...
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) primarily handles airport security.

5. The Trusted Traveler program has nothing to do with bypassing security

It's a Customs Bureau program that expedites border crossings and entry for enrolled travelers.
