WASHINGTON (AP) -- A program to let frequent flyers breeze through airports has been delayed as the government and private businesses grapple with ways to ensure retention of tough security standards.

The Registered Traveler program, which has been tested at Orlando International Airport and four other airports, was supposed to be rolled out gradually starting Tuesday. But Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Yolanda Clark said the agency was still working with private firms running the program to make certain that it "does not decrease security in any way."

Registered Traveler would have allowed certain airline passengers to quickly go through a separate airport security lane if they paid a fee, passed a government background check and submitted fingerprints. The TSA wants private contractors to run the program, but said that travelers must be able to use the pass at every airport that offers it.

Clark said the contractors must also make sure the program doesn't hold up travelers who aren't enrolled for the fast security clearance.

She could not immediately estimate when the program might be ready.
