Washington | Some regular Australian visitors to the United States will from Friday be able to apply for hassle-free entry through the country’s notorious airport security system when they’re included in a new express system.

Of the 1 million Australians that travel to the US every year, about 400,000 of them make more than four trips. Many of those, who mainly travel for business, have been demanding faster access through the high-level security and long waiting lines.
