I signed up for this yesterday. Aside from standing in line for nearly and hour, the process was relatively quick.
In Minneapolis they don't give you a smart card, your ID is just fingerprint and iris. Other airports may use the smartcards. I think that each of the five trial airports are going to use different technologies and may the best one win.
The program will not speed you through security as you still have to go through the metal detector and have your bags checked via X-ray. However, you will not have to go through any extra screening that may occur. For the trial period the program is only good for outbound flights.

That's a disk array. Maybe StorageTek 9176, but I'm not sure. 1Gb technology, but probably a good buy for someone.
