Homeland Security does not issue passports.  They are issued by the Passport Agency, a function of the Department of State.\n\nIn the current situation, a bogus or fraudulently obtained passport could likely get you an all-expenses paid vacation of indeterminate duration to beautiful Guantanamo, Cuba.\n\nIf you simply need to speed the process along, it is possible to get a passport in as little as one day.  You need a fair pile of cash to do so, but it can be done legally.  Here's a link to a commercial firm that handles expedited passport processing in the US.  http://www.passportsplus.com/passportfees.html#svcfee  You still must meet all normal passport requirements and all fees are non-refundable if the application is rejected for any reason.

Both here in California and in Washington, I was able to work with a licensed agent. Although I could not answer questions and whatnot, just being able to tag along was immensely valuable. I would at least ask. They can only say no, but I doubt that would happen.

You asked this question at the right time. I had to do this a week ago. Get information to Washington, D.C. and get the # for Homeland Security. Call them and ask for the Immigration dept. They'll connect you and then you take care of business. Good luck!!

WASHINGTON, May 20 — Allowing frequent fliers to bypass much of the airport security hassle in exchange for giving up some personal information in advance has yet to happen, four years after the idea was first proposed.\n\nThe concept, first called "trusted traveler," emerged weeks after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and was popular with some airlines, frequent fliers and lawmakers. But now, the Transportation Security Administration is suggesting that the benefits will range from slim to none, except perhaps for the likelihood that the line waiting to reach the checkpoint will be shorter.\n\nKip Hawley, director of the Transportation Security Administration, told reporters this week that the concept, now called "registered traveler," was not a priority because it would not cut risk of a terrorist attack. And if private entrepreneurs assembled a package of tools that helped identify threats to security — including background checks and perhaps equipment at the checkpoint that would sniff, scan or otherwise sense explosives — the payoff might be that such qualified travelers would not have to remove their shoes or suit coats, or take laptops out of their briefcases for inspection.\n\n"If we get enough things in there that raise the bar, then we can say, Yes, you can keep your coat on or your shoes, or whatever," Mr. Hawley said.\n\nIn fact, a T.S.A. laboratory in Atlantic City is testing a device developed by General Electric, with technology similar to a hospital magnetic resonance imaging machine, that looks for shoe bombs.\n\nGeneral Electric, in addition to being a supplier of airport security equipment, also owns a minority share in the only company now operating a "registered traveler" checkpoint in Orlando, Fla., Verified Identity Pass Inc. G.E. is working on a second device that might let screeners determine with confidence whether a briefcase stuffed with a laptop computer had a bomb in it.\n\nBut Mr. Hawley said that if the private companies that want to offer such "registered traveler" services could successfully develop detection technology, his agency would consider buying and deploying it for general use.\n\nAfter Sept. 11, many aviation experts said checking a traveler's criminal background could determine how much screening was necessary. But Mr. Hawley and others said that terrorist attacks on London buses and subways last summer showed that attackers need not be foreigners or have criminal backgrounds.\n\nProponents of a registered traveler program are disappointed with the lack of progress.\n\n"You cannot imagine the frustration up here," said Representative John L. Mica, Republican of Florida and chairman of the House Aviation Subcommittee. "We're screening the same people over and over again," he said, arguing that people who have security clearances, are in the armed forces or law enforcement, work as commercial airline pilots, and a variety of others need not be screened.\n\n"It's turned into a farce," Mr. Mica said. "They've gone around the corner so many times, they're running around in circles and they've accomplished nothing."\n\nBut the pilot program in Orlando has proved popular. Verified Identity, which charges $80 a year, said it had signed up 23,000 people. Its members go to a dedicated lane where the wait is generally two to four minutes, said Steven Brill, founder of the company. Airports in San Jose, Calif.; Indianapolis; and Cincinnati will follow soon, he said, and he added that his company would soon announce a partnership with a major airline. In February, Hyatt Hotels and Resorts said it would give away memberships to its best customers.\n\nMr. Brill said that even if the government decided to buy for all security checkpoints the technology developed for the registered traveler program, his customers would still have the better equipment two years earlier, in a process
