Saflink Expands Partnership for Registered Traveler Program to Deliver Expedited Security and Services for Travelers
Monday December 12, 8:00 am ET 
Saflink, Microsoft, Johnson Controls, Expedia Corporate Travel and ID Tech Partners Join Forces to Spearhead Participation in $3 Billion US Market for Registered Travelers


BELLEVUE, Wash., Dec. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Saflink® Corporation (Nasdaq: SFLK - News), a leading provider of solutions for secure access, identity assurance and productivity today announced an additional group of participants in a significant partnership to deliver frequent travelers expedited access to travel using a progressive financial instrument. The goal of the partnership is to provide a biometrically secured identity card capable of providing both assurance of a traveler's identity as well as offering travel related benefits. The partnership intends to add a credit component to the card -- to be named later -- that would provide a vehicle for the first secure card to be used for identification, access control and credit.


Today, Microsoft® (Nasdaq: MSFT - News) and Saflink are joined by Johnson Controls®, Inc. (NYSE: JCI - News), a leading provider of facilities services, infrastructure and security systems at airports and other travel terminals; Expedia® Corporate Travel (Nasdaq: EXPE - News), a leading on-demand, full-service corporate travel agency; and ID Technology Partners®, an expert in public credentialing and privacy. The partnership expects to announce their selection of a financial partner from several top tier candidates in the upcoming weeks. The partners will be available for comments and questions today at the Fifth Annual AAAE Aviation Security Summit, hosted in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security and the TSA in Washington, DC.

This powerful team, in cooperation with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and airports, will work to offer improved Homeland Security and an expedited travel experience to participants across a large number of domestic airports. To join, participants will provide the TSA with voluntary personal information, which when combined with their biometric data, would supply the identity assurance elements that will then be integrated with other benefits provided through an optional credit capability.

The partnership plans to deliver value to a market comprised of more than 38 million frequent travelers flying more than seven trips each year. Travelers with fewer trips would also be able to participate. The fee for use of this card and the program it represents is expected to be less than $100 annually per participant. With more than 38 million travelers in this powerful demographic, the market opportunity is $3 to $4 billion per year. The team estimates more than 280 million trips are associated with this target group with travel activities generating an excess of $200 billion in travel related revenue for airlines, airports, hotels and other travel service providers.

During the initial phase of the partnership, the team plans to not only deliver on the needs of the Registered Traveler program, but also to supplement its solution by adding other travel offerings such as customized travel services, discounts and premium parking. As the partnership matures and further develops the solution, the team plans to offer protection for identity theft and other forms of consumer credit fraud, expedited event admission, as well as expansion into other forms of travel.

"Frequent air travelers have continually called for efficiency and better productivity in travel. We believe this partnership will deliver these efficiencies, from the first Web logon to the point where travelers take their seats. Their frequent trips and related spending patterns make them the most sought after customers of the airlines, ancillary travel service companies, airports and terminals themselves," said Glenn Argenbright, CEO of Saflink. "Saflink is pleased to be the catalyst behind this initiative which is an essential part of our strategy and business plan. This is extremely important to Saflink's future and we look forward providing leadership for the team."

Possible......

Double Bottom (Reversal) Pattern
The double bottom is a major reversal pattern that forms after an extended downtrend. As its name implies, the pattern is made up of two consecutive troughs that are roughly equal, with a moderate peak in between

Although there can be variations, the classic double bottom usually marks an intermediate or long-term change in trend. Many potential double bottoms can form along the way down, but until key resistance is broken, a reversal cannot be confirmed.

It is important to remember that the double bottom is an intermediate to long-term reversal pattern that will not form in a few days. Even though formation in a few weeks is possible, it is preferable to have at least 4 weeks between lows. Bottoms usually take longer than tops to form and patience can often be a virtue. Give the pattern time to develop and look for the proper clues. The advance off of the first trough should be 10-20%. The second trough should form a low within 3% of the previous low and volume on the ensuing advance should increase. Volume indicators such as Chaikin Money Flow, OBV and Accumulation/Distribution can be used to look for signs of buying pressure. Just as with the double top, it is paramount to wait for the resistance breakout. The formation is not complete until the previous reaction high is taken out.

TSA Approves Scanner That Will Let
Fliers Who Pay Keep Their Shoes On
By LAURA MECKLER
December 13, 2006; Page B1

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. government approved new technology that will automatically scan shoes and boots for bombs, and promises that travelers will soon be spared the trouble of scurrying through security in their socks. But the new machines will be available only to travelers who pay to join a special program, at least at first.

The shoe-scanner approval will give a crucial boost to the Registered Traveler program, which is designed to provide faster airport security screening, via a special security line, to travelers who sign up in advance and undergo a background check. But the program, to be run by private companies under the supervision of the Transportation Security Administration, has languished for years, and currently is operating only in Orlando, Fla.

Explosive-detecting kiosks, like this one in Orlando, Fla., allow travelers to keep their shoes on in security lines.

The shoe scanner is expected to draw customers to the program because not only will it speed up lines. It will also offer another perk -- remaining shod -- to attract customers willing to pay annual fees of about $100.

"We've always said that Registered Traveler has to be more than a front-of-the-line program," says Steven Brill, chief executive of Verified Identity Pass Inc., which operates the Registered Traveler program in Orlando. A handful of other companies also want to offer Registered Traveler programs at airports.

Travelers who join the programs will undergo background checks, and then get biometric cards designed to work at any airport's Registered Traveler kiosks, where iris scans or fingerprints would match the person with his or her ID card. Those kiosks are designed to be used in conjunction with existing carry-on baggage X-ray machines and metal detectors.

The speedy handling of known travelers is designed to free up the TSA to focus on other passengers, who may pose a greater risk. Private companies that take part in the program must be approved by the TSA and compete to win contracts from airports to provide the service. Interoperable technology will allow customers of any given company to use another company's security lines when traveling through various airports.

The shoe scanner is part of a kiosk developed by General Electric Co.'s GE Security, which is a minority investor in Verified. Passengers step onto a platform with hip-level walls and enter identifying information on the touch screen. Meanwhile, their shoes are scanned for bombs from below, and residue from their fingers is analyzed to detect trace amounts of explosive material.

"We're comfortable with the level of the security that the shoe scanner provides," said Christopher White, a spokesman for the TSA. The TSA says it will examine each airport's setup before giving each site the go-ahead to dispense with shoe removal.

Verified and GE Security hope that, in the future, the use of this trace detector will eliminate the need for passengers to take off their jackets when they walk through security. The TSA has yet to approve the trace detector. The kiosk, including both the shoe scanner and the trace detector, has been undergoing testing at Orlando.

Verified has bought 20 of the kiosks for use at the airports where it has contracts to operate Registered Traveler programs. It plans to launch operations at John F. Kennedy International Airport's Terminal 7, which is run by British Airways, as early as next week. The company plans to follow at three more airports -- in Cincinnati, San Jose, Calif., and Indianapolis -- in the coming weeks. It is charging passengers $99.95 per year.

Not everyone is enthused about Registered Traveler. The major airline trade group, the Air Transport Association, has tried to dissuade airports from signing on, arguing that it will deliver little benefit while distracting the TSA from other priorities such as developing a new system for monitoring passenger lists for the names of suspected terrorists. In addition, airlines already offer special security lines to first-class and most-frequent fliers at some airports, and Registered Traveler could wind up competing with this and other airline-provided perks.

The other companies competing for Registered Traveler contracts also promise to buy advanced screening equipment once it is approved for use by the TSA. That technology, which is in various stages of development, is designed to ease the three major headaches of airport screening: removing shoes, jackets and laptops from their cases.

Unisys Corp., which has signed up the airport in Reno, Nev., is considering buying the shoe scanners but is also looking at backscatter technology, which the TSA is now testing in Phoenix. Backscatter is an X-ray that can see through clothing to detect threatening objects that might be hidden. This technology should allow passengers to keep shoes and jackets on as they pass through security, said Larry Zmuda, who heads the Registered Traveler program for Unisys. "We're going to try and push for multiple benefits and not just shoes."

A third major player is Saflink Corp., which hasn't yet won an airport contract. It is focusing on building relationships with charitable groups, universities, professional sports teams and trade associations that would offer the company's card, called Fast Lane Option, at a discount or as a fund-raising device for the organization.

All three companies are developing packages of various travel and nontravel related perks, ranging from discounts on airport parking and merchandise to credit card and offers and deals on mortgage rates.

Any new technology used for Registered Traveler is being paid for by the private companies. The new GE kiosks, for instance, cost more than $150,000 each. That might be too expensive for the federal government to buy and install for the use of all air travelers. But the government will monitor the performance of the machines and could wind up buying them down the road.

"The people who travel the most ... will finance development of technology for everybody else," says Mr. Brill. "That's a pretty good model."
