TSA and Clear have introduced automated e-gates with facial recognition for identity verification at certain airports, aiming to speed up security lines; the pilot is available to Clear+ members and is supervised by TSA.

CLEAR and TSA are piloting biometric eGates at major U.S. airports, enhancing security and streamlining travel ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup with taxpayer-free innovation.

TSA is rolling out biometric facial recognition lanes at 15 new U.S. airports to speed up PreCheck security lines and reduce document handling. Touchless ID allows travelers to verify their identity without physical documents, aiming for quicker, smoother airport experiences.

When two travelers enroll through IDEMIA, they can get $15 off the second enrollment through Oct. 31. “For families larger than two, the promotion still applies,” TSA’s website reads. “Example: A family of four can save $30.” New enrollment through the provider typically costs $76.75 for five years. The promotion does not apply to renewals.

TSA PreCheck helps travelers get through airport security quicker. You get access to shorter wait times for TSA security checkpoints as well as getting to keep on your belts and light jackets. During the summer, TSA ended the shoe removal requirement for everyone passing through the checkpoints.

The U.S. government has announced a groundbreaking change in airport identification processes. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is introducing a digital feature in smartphones.
