WASHINGTON -- The United States plans to develop an inexpensive and secure travel card for cross-border visitors by the end of the year.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff says the document will be an alternative to passports and similar to a driver's licence or other personal identification card.

The new document is part of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, an attempt to increase security following the terrorists attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Chertoff said a new system at border crossings, called People Access Security Service or PASS, will improve security but won't disrupt tourism and business travel.

Canadian officials have objected to plans that would require passports, saying it would be too expensive and disrupt daily cross-border trips.

All misleading titles:

The "liberal" NYTimes chose this title:

U.S. Announces Plan to Improve Border Security

The Seattle Times chose this title:

U.S. eases passport requirement for some travelers to Canada, Mexico
