I'm talking about a situation that may be two or three years down the road, because currently the way CATSA carries out its mission is not consistent with an idea of having separate tracks for NEXUS or Global Entry cardholders.
But on the higher level of philosophy, essentially in the future you'll have two types of passengers. You'll have a passenger who, in exchange for having a quick, efficient, and trouble-free journey through the airport, will give a lot of information on his background. Essentially, that's what NEXUS says: give us the information and you can have a pleasant journey through CBSA.
In the future, we think that subset of passengers—we never expect that it will be a majority—will be screened differently. Everybody needs to be screened, but those types of passengers will be treated differently somehow in the future screening system.
Now here's one of my problems. My crystal ball isn't working on what that next-generation checkpoint looks like yet, but of the higher-level principles, it is those passengers you know more about who get treated differently from those passengers who don't want to give up any information on themselves. Whether or not that means this passenger gets her shoes screened, this one does not, this bag goes through this type of machine, this bag goes through the other...I don't know what that is.
But precisely because of that question you asked, that displays the importance of global regulators getting together and coming up with the next-generation checkpoint, because that concept has to be embedded in it. There's the concept of figuring out what we do with our crew members. Obviously we have crew members in and out every day, and they're one of the lower-risk groups we have right now, yet they're being screened like people we know nothing about. So certainly a next-generation checkpoint takes into account our crew members as well and figures out what we need to do with them.
But I do think that, like anything, the brainpower is out there to put this new system together. Unfortunately, I don't have a better answer than that.
