How much would you pay to get through airport security fast? This news isn’t retail- related, but it’s an interesting consumer topic.

For $100 to $200 a year, Verified Identity Pass’s Clear service helps people literally fly through the airport security lines, or at least speed up the process of having your bags scanned and showing your ticket and ID to security agents.

It’s authorized by the federal Transportation Security Administration, and it’s offered at select larger airports, such as Washington Dulles International Airport and Orlando International Airport, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Roanoke Regional Airport isn’t one of them, but since many of you likely have flown at a larger airport at some point, you might be interested in reading this article about the service.
