Trusted traveler program having trouble taking off

A proposed new express lane check-in service for frequent users of air travel services within the United States has run into problems.
The Registered Traveler program idea is being put forward by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in order to speed up security checks for frequent fliers.

The system uses advanced background checking of passengers, who will pay a set fee of $80 to $100 and carry a specialized ID card so they do not have to stand in the same lines at security.

However, many security companies and airport operators have balked at the suggestion that they will have to pay the TSA up to $300 an hour to operate the special lanes, and smaller airports will also need to apportion an entire security lane for trusted travelers, limiting space for regular passengers.
These concerns, among others, have been raised by the Airports Council International and the Air Transport Association, both leading aviation groups. Observers suggest that with such opposition the TSA may find it difficult to push through its proposals.
