On a crowded Tuesday morning at Orlando International Airport, Lou Stanislao, a 61-year-old project manager and frequent flier, had his fingerprint scanned at a kiosk designated for "registered travelers." His name popped up on the screen, allowing him to move into another line -- where he doffed his shoes and handed over his bag for scanning. Next, he showed his ID and ticket to a security agent and picked up his belongings. In all, he breezed through airport security in five minutes.
For this, Mr. Stanislao pays $100 a year.
He's among the 100,000 registered members of Verified Identity Pass Inc.'s Clear security system -- one of three companies authorized by the federal Transportation Security Administration that currently offers expedited security lines.
