"Fast Track" Air Traveler Identification System Expands
Just one U.S. airport -- in Orlando, Fla. -- has a Registered Traveler program, in which passengers who pay a fee and get a background check can bypass an airport's general checkpoint and use a special lane for security clearance. The Transportation Security Administration wants to expand the program nationally by summer, using private companies to sign up participants and run the checkpoints.
