Registered Traveler Program Open For Business

storem writes "Enrollment into TSA's Registered Traveler program started yesterday at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Frequent flyers are given the opportunity to sign up for a fast-track system using biometrics to identify themselves. It seems this is pretty much the same system tested in Europe in the s-Travel program. There frequent flyers carried their biometric identifiers (fingerprint & iris) with them between airports on a smart card (privacy reasons)."

    With my luck, I will show up at the airport and then realize that I left my fingers and iris at home.

    But with the extensive use of blackout dates by the airlines. I think we will be safe everyday but the week you are allowed to use your miles.
