"TSA says later this year it will launch an application process to allow passengers who want to join PreCheck to pay $85, verify their identity and provide fingerprints at an enrollment center.
Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines, United Airlines, US Airways and Virgin America currently participate in the program. JetBlue and Southwest will begin taking part when they are "operationally ready," according to the TSA.
PreCheck is part of a larger effort by TSA to move to security based more on risks that certain passengers may pose.
"As TSA continues to move away from a one-size-fits-all approach to transportation security, we are looking for more opportunities to provide the most effective security in the most efficient way possible," TSA Administrator John Pistole said in the news release announcing the expansion.

Number of shoe bombs ever: 1
Number of successful shoe bombs ever: 0
Why failed: alert passengers.

Why failed: alert passengers, stupid idea.
