Stennis plant starts making trusted traveler cards

BAY ST. LOUIS, Miss. (AP) — A federal plant at Stennis Space Center is now making trusted traveler cards in addition to passports.

The U.S. Government Printing Office says it will make about 20,000 trusted traveler cards a month for the Customs and Border Protection unit of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The cards allow people who pass pre-screening to use shorter lines at border crossings and international airports.
