I can understand the special treatment in front of the airline
counter, but the TSA running the passenger screening is a
government agency.

Last year the TSA started a frequent traveller program at some of the
larger airports. Basically, you have to get pre-screened, give them a
thumb print or retina scan, and you get to use the fast lane.

Minneapolis was one of the airports where they were trying it out and I was
told that it failed miserably. Nobody trusted the government with the
information required for the background check.
