Trading ETF options in IB?

Hopefully I'll be able to convert my SA stint into FT, so if that happens, I'd like to invest as much of my money as possible. I understand that investment bankers can buy and sell ETFs without much of an issue from compliance, so I'm wondering if you can also trade ETF options  (like SPY calls)
