The TSA Wants To Read Your Facebook Posts And Check Out Your Purchases Before It Will Approve You For PreCheck

For a few years now, the TSA has been selling travelers‘ civil liberties back to them, most recently for $85 a head, but it‘s now making a serious push to increase participation. The TSA can‘t do it alone, so it‘s accepting bids on its PreCheck expansion proposal.
