Indeed. I read FAST as a sort of olive-branch in security theatre. It seems that it, or something like it, will be used to remove porno-scanners and grope-checks from standard security. If 70% of people are passing through security without being hassled, their PR problems nosedive.

And frankly, though it's likely to be error prone and leave airport security still largely ineffective, at least it's move toward trying to intelligently identify risks. Rather that simply sending every single person through ineffective security. And lessening the load on the scanners and gropers can only raise their effectiveness.
