Skip the airport security lines in the blink of an eye

Fast lanes are not just for those buying 20 or less items of groceries anymore. Reagan National and Dulles airports opened fast-pass security lanes this Wednesday for travelers who carry a "Clear card." Check the story out right here.

Here's how it works: Fliers undergo a Transportation Security Administration background check and have personal data, plus iris and fingerprint scans, put on a card. Although the fliers still have to remove their shoes and get carry-ons X-rayed, at certain airports the cards let them skip the lines that everyone else endures.

Will they start selling these on eBay or Craigslist soon?
