TSA Frequent Flier ID Cards

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced standards for an ID card that frequent fliers may buy to get through security lines faster in airports.

This program will establish airport-security fast lanes for those who pay a fee, pass a government background check and submit ten fingerprints.

In addition to the annual membership fee — expected to be about $100 — the TSA estimates a background check will cost another 100 dollars.

The so-called Registered Traveler program could be in place by the end of the year.
