Registered Traveler Test
REGISTERED TRAVELER TEST A 14-month government test of the registered traveler program at five airports ended last week, when the Transportation Security Administration sent e-mail messages to about 10,000 people enrolled in the pilot project, saying that the tryouts were successful and had "proven the viability of the Registered Traveler Program under real-world conditions." With the end of the government-run program, a similar one managed by Verified Identity Pass at Orlando International Airport in Florida remains in operation and, according to its founder, Steven Brill, is poised to expand to other airports. In Mr. Brill's program, called Clear Registered Traveler, members pay $79.95 a year to register their biometric identification data. After a background check by the T.S.A. clears them, members are cleared for expedited treatment that allows them to use designated checkpoint lanes and bypass secondary airport security screening. Mr. Brill said the T.S.A. indicated that certain other checkpoint benefits, like not having to remove jackets and shoes or take laptops from cases, were likely to be added...
