San Jose Airport Becomes 2nd to Offer Express Screening
An AP newswire article by May Wong, via ABC News, reports that:
The international airport of Silicon Valley will soon become the nation's second airfield to offer a high-tech express lane for security checks.
The so-called "Registered Traveler" program offers airline passengers a prepaid, preapproved security pass complete with fingerprint and eye scans.
Enrolled passengers who pay a fee and get a background check and can bypass the airport's general security checkpoint, heading instead for a more exclusive security lane.
The program debuted at the Orlando International Airport in Florida, where more than 10,000 members pay a $79.95 annual fee. San Jose passengers will likely be charged a similar fee, said Rich Dressler, a spokesman for the San Jose airport.
