Yearning for a quicker trip through security at LAX? By paying a membership fee of $128 a year, Delta Air Lines fliers may soon be on their way. Next month, Delta plans to become the first carrier at the airport to offer a program that provides members with special access and concierges to escort them through the security process.

Dubbed Clear, it will be run by Verified Identity Pass Inc., one of several vendors authorized by the U.S. government to operate so-called registered traveler programs. The Clear version is already active in 18 airports, including San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose. At LAX, details were still being worked out. For updates, visit www.flyclear.com/delta.
