Washington Redskins fans for
the first time this season will be
able to use a smart card to gain
faster entrance into FedEx Field.
FLO, a Chantilly start-up that
makes airport cards designed to
speed up security lines, signed a
three-year deal with the Redskins

FLO cards will have fast-pass access to FedEx Field at no additional charge.
