Nope, I am with you... It is so ridiculous, that we, as Americans, have to submit to 2-3 hours of just "hanging around" in Oakland. I would apply for that traveler card in a heartbeat. It should be mandatory now that the state identification system is in the toilet. I'll bet the only valid ID now will be an American Passport.

I usually show my passport anyway, even when I'm flying domestic. A trust status could be added to your passport. I don't see much validity to all the prognostications that such an idea would be unworkable.
