  Where can I set my TSA password?

    That'll be your passport. Annoying, but there's absolutely a procedure for unmatched biometrics.

      So just use passports? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

        > just use passports? If it ain't broke, don't fix it Anyone who travels in America and doesn’t see security as broken has been visited by the patron saints of patience.

          Any miscreant wanting to cause the greatest mayham, could easily target TSA waiting lines, yet this never happens… Almost like the threat isn't as high as it is portrayed to be.

        They use both. They crosscheck you against stored biometric data from the passport, and also the data stored in the passport against data previously seen. If something is not matching they put additional scrutiny on you. It is not perfect. Super spies, and determined smart criminals are going to be able to defeat it, but it raises the bar.
