Anyone who travels to or through the US can tell you how blasted crappy the experience of going through CBP and TSA can be. People from a laundry list of random countries can sign up for a pre-screening program that lets you do such awesome stuff as leave your shoes on going through and leave electronics in your bag - even cooler is you can avoid having to do the stupid interview with CBP every time you show up.

Australia has been approved to join the scheme, which makes me wonder if New Zealand could achieve this. I've emailed the Minister of Customs after my last contact basically resulted in "we looked at it but it's too expensive".
