The Transportation Security Administration has partnered with
Clear to pilot new electronic gates at TSA security checkpoints “to help
expedite identity verification in select airports,” the agency announced
Tuesday.
The eGates allow TSA to automatically compare traveler
biometrics with their identity document and boarding pass without the need for
a human operator, according to the agency. “Clear eGates are one example
of a family of eGate systems TSA and its partners will introduce as part of
ongoing modernization efforts.”
Clear eGates currently are available at Hartsfield-Jackson
Atlanta International Airport, and later this month are planned to debut at
Reagan Washington National Airport and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport,
according to TSA.
