Verified Identity Pass
The founder of Verified Identity Pass, which has run a pilot program in Orlando, Fla., since last June, Steven Brill, has said that those who pay an annual fee to undergo a background check and get an electronic identity card probably will not have to remove their shoes and jackets, will not have to take laptops out of their cases and will get an expedited passage through security. Things became slightly more clear last week when General Electric said it would invest up to $16 million for a minority stake in Verified Identity Pass.
