Registered traveler lines remain long

Monday, 23 Jun, 2005 0

The US’s much-vaunted registered traveler program got off to a bumpy ride at Orlando International Airport.

Computer problems slowed the process, officials admitted.

“We’re going through some initial glitches,” said Steven Brill, CEO of Verified Identity, Inc., the private company running the fast-pass screening system.

The US Transportation Security Administration this week started testing the system in Orlando.

The system is designed so that those who pay a $79.95 annual fee and pass security checks get a card that allows them to bypass regular security lines. Participants still have to go through metal detectors but if the system is approved, it is designed to cut waiting times.
