The questions we should be asking is why is the Guberment asking for this money for a system that is already standing up and operationally insignificant from a cost point of view? KCM help relieve already overly crowded passenger lines, helps crews swiftly through the checkpoints, and is a win win for everybody. So, if all airlines don't pay up, will they shut it down? Why charge for a database that airlines already pay for (CASS)? This is the government's poor attempt to pay for their bloated and overstaffed TSA agency. Thanks Nepolitano! ALPA national will be our only dog in this fight.
