Security checkpoints have become a genuine pain for air travelers. Where once you could breeze right through repparttar 134222 x-ray scanner and head for repparttar 134223 boarding gate, now you must endure careful checks of your carry-on luggage and perhaps even of your person. It's repparttar 134224 legacy of September 11th and a necessary step toward keeping air travelers safe. But repparttar 134225 delays are increasing and passengers are grumbling. Frequent flyers,especially, are complaining about repparttar 134226 slowdown and repparttar 134227 hassle caused by long security lines.

Enter repparttar 134228 Trusted Traveler program, repparttar 134229 brainchild of an airline industry committee working on ways to improve airport security. With Trusted Traveler, anyone who wanted to forgo long airport security lines would authorize repparttar 134230 government to conduct a background check and take their thumbprint or an iris scan of their eyes. Once cleared, they would receive an identification card encrypted with their "biometric ID." Airports would have reserved checkpoints where passengers could present their card, have their fingerprint or iris scan matched to repparttar 134231 card's information, and be passed through to repparttar 134232 boarding area. This type of prescreening would reduce lengthy lines and let frequent travelers avoid much of repparttar 134233 current airport hassle. "From my perspective, it makes more sense to subject repparttar 134234 people I know a lot about to a lesser degree of security and repparttar 134235 people I don't know anything about to a greater degree of security. It just makes a lot of sense to spend repparttar 134236 finite amount of security resources we have on repparttar 134237 folks who are unknown," says Dirk C. McMahon, Northwest Airlines Senior Vice President for Customer Service.
