The news that the Transportation Security Administration has enrolled
more than 1 million people in a program that lets low-risk travelers zip
through expedited security checkpoints was tarnished by a report that
former terrorist Sara Jane Olson was cleared to use the low-risk
screening lane.

The former member of a domestic terrorist group got clearance in June
for the expedited screening lanes known as PreCheck, according to a
report last month from the Department of Homeland Security’s office of
inspector general. The agency declined to name the convicted felon but
media reports have since identified her as Olson, a former member of the
Symbionese Liberation Army.

Olson did not apply for PreCheck but was randomly picked to use the
faster security lane as part of a TSA effort to cut wait times on the
crowded standard checkpoint, according TSA officials. A TSA agent at the
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport recognize Olson and reported
her to a supervisor who nonetheless gave Olson the clearance to use the
PreCheck lane.
