- United Airlines hubs, O’Hare and LAX, first to offer Touchless ID – encouraging physical backup until 2024 testing.
- Delta, United, and American Airlines implementing similar touchless ID services across US airports.
On Tuesday, February 27, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) revealed it would expand its new touchless identification experience to brand-new airports across the United States. The touchless experience utilizes facial recognition software for TSA PreCheck customers who opt-in to the service. This means that passengers who have opted into the service will no longer need to bring a physical identification or boarding pass to verify their identity as they pass through TSA PreCheck and security lanes.
