Company Meets TSA Minimum Criteria to Offer Registered Traveler
Services KIRKLAND, Wash., Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Saflink(R) Corporation (NASDAQ:SFLK), a leading provider of
solutions for secure access, identity assurance and productivity,
today announced that it received notification from the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) that Saflink has met
the TSA's minimum participation requirements to offer Registered
Traveler (RT) services. The notification from the TSA helps Saflink
and the other members of the FLO(TM) (Fast Lane Option) Alliance,
including Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, Johnson Controls, Inc., Smiths
Detection (an operating division of Smiths Group) and ID Technology
Partners, in their efforts to finalize contracts with airports and
airlines interested in deploying an RT solution. The certification
is a necessary step toward gaining final TSA approval to operate an
RT deployment. Saflink joins a limited group of companies that have
also met the minimum participation requirements during the last
several weeks. "This is an important milestone for Saflink and the
rest of the FLO team," said Glenn Argenbright, President and
General Manager of Registered Traveler Solutions, Saflink. "While
we have always been confident in our ability to meet the
requirements to be an RT Service Provider, official notification
takes us one step closer to bringing our unique solution to market
in 2007. This is an exciting time for the FLO Alliance and the
entire industry." The FLO Alliance for Registered Traveler,
initially formed in 2005, brings together industry leaders in
technology, finance and facilities infrastructure and security
systems, in addition to companies with broad experience marketing
to businesses, consumers and the aviation industry. The Alliance's
solution provides for the complete Registered Traveler
credentialing process and its operational use in airports. Built on
the proven technologies of its members, the FLO Alliance Registered
Traveler architecture covers: the enrollment of biographic and
biometric information and identity verification of participating
individuals; collection of program fees; production and issuance of
secure, tamper-proof FLO credentials; installation, maintenance and
management of authentication platforms within aviation facilities
throughout the United States; and operations management and
customer service for the nationwide subscription program. The TSA's
Registered Traveler program is designed to allow individuals who
voluntarily undergo an in-depth background check, provide biometric
information (such as a fingerprint or iris scan) and pay an annual
fee to take advantage of expedited security screening procedures at
participating U.S. airports. Enrollees use specially designated,
privately managed Registered Traveler lanes, where they are
required to present and match an approved, biometrically secured
identity credential. Interoperable card requirements will allow
travelers to use the same card at all participating airports. About
Saflink Saflink Corporation offers biometric security and smart
card solutions that protect intellectual property, secure
information and eliminate passwords. Saflink identity assurance
management solutions allow administrators to verify the identity of
users and control their access to computer networks, facilities and
applications. Winner of several awards in 2006, Saflink and its
solutions have been recognized by organizations such as Software
Magazine's Software 500 and Access Control & Security Systems.

indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of a

significant revenue from our participation in these or other
government programs, or if we incur substantial additional expenses
related to government programs before we earn associated revenue,
we may not have adequate resources to continue to operate or to
compete effectively in the government or the commercial
marketplace. Additional risks and uncertainties include our
financial condition, which we discuss in our most recent quarterly
report on Form 10-Q, and those other factors described in our
annual report on Form 10-K, as well as other documents we file
