I pay a fee and give the Government a bunch of information to have a reasonable experience at the airport.

I agree somewhat. While service standards shouldn't be tied to a person's income, I do feel the pain of a daily commuter who crosses the border.
What does bother me are the airport security "Fast Path" lines. While a NEXUS cardholder has enhanced screening that I could see them having quicker access, certain Platinum credit cardholders doesn't receive any background checks done, but they get the same line by-pass features.
Its all about the $$$. No different than those at amusement parks who are willing to pay twice the admission fee don't have to stand in lines.
