Screaming Penguin

Orlando International Airport is in the midst of a 'security experiment'. For a fee of about US$80.00 a year you can submit yourself to a biometric scan (fingerprint and iris data will be taken) and well as a personal Homeland Security 'threat assessment'. If you are determined not to be a danger to society then you will receive a credit card sized ID with a computer chip containing all of your biometric information. For the length of your 'membership', you will be allowed to circumvent the long security lines in favor of a much shorter access line. You will be asked to present your card to a machine that will match it to a fingerprint and/or iris scan. This system is called CLEAR. It's only being tested in Orlando right now but is supposedly going to spread to other airports around the country.
