I asked a TSA supervisor in my home town and he mentioned a memo he received about the 'trial' being extended to a few more airports in the Spring of '09... It sounds like it might take a while.

He said many local branches are fighting this idea because they say it'll cost them extra money and resources (extra TSA person to deal with pilots only). He thinks it's probably more about the basic distrust and dislike between many TSA agents and the pilots which he claims is very real, he said he’s had to ‘counsel’ many of his agents about keeping their feelings about us to themselves; I know this supervisor personally and I'm sure he knows what he's talking about (he’s a former pilot who took an early retirement).
