AKRON, OHIO -- Travelers have a new ally in the post 9-11 era of airport security. An Ohio-based company announced their Skeye-ID Travel Organizer is now available to the general public. This unique identification holder was recently fast-tracked through the U.S. patent approval process with a special petition for Countering Terrorism. The Skeye-ID document protector is the only safety organizer of its kind and, thanks to its US Patent No. D468,903, cannot be replicated by other manufacturers.

The Skeye-ID organizer is a clear poly-vinyl pouch with an attached lanyard. Patent protection allows for future line extensions into leather, microfiber and cotton. It was designed for business and leisure travelers to expedite access through plane terminals and security checkpoints.

Brett Smiley, Skeye-ID vice president of marketing, explains: With security checks and proper identification a priority since the events of September 11, 2001, the Skeye-ID organizer provides high visibility at travel security checkpoints and easy access to tickets and ID's for the traveler. The patent attorney's office felt this product filled a necessary void and placed it on the fast-track product patent review and quickly approved our invention under the anti-terrorism category."

Sized to hold either domestic or international travel documents, the patented pouch design includes three see-through compartments so airport personnel can quickly view the boarding pass, passport and driver's license. The Skeye-ID organizer hangs around the traveler's neck by a personalized lanyard with a safety breakaway plastic clip. With no metal parts, it passes through airport security equipment without delay.

According to Smiley, The Skeye-ID organizer can create a hands-free and no-hassle boarding process. It eliminates fumbling for IDs and boarding passes in pockets, wallets and carry-on luggage. Consolidating everything safely in one pouch can also reduce the risk of losing tickets or leaving behind valuable travel documents."

For businesses and travel agencies, it is the perfect product for employee incentive programs, or for use as premiums for customer appreciation, or with a direct mail piece for advertising.
