The following article was in today's USA Weekend magazine. Looks like good news for Indy.

Hustle through airport security with a VIP pass
If you'd like to speed through airport security every time you fly, the new Registered Traveler program may be for you. A company called Verified Identity Pass (Verified ID) has devised a system allowing select travelers to access fast security lines at airports. The Transportation Security Administration has approved the national program, to launch June 20, with Orlando, San Jose and Indianapolis likely to be the first airports. Verified ID expects 10 airports to be on board by year's end.
To become a Registered Traveler, you'll need to provide your name, address, Social Security number (optional but recommended) and an annual fee of about $80. You also must submit to fingerprinting and have an iris image and photograph taken. The TSA will subject your application to a security threat assessment, approving or denying your membership. If you are not approved, there is no charge.
