Card Text
CLEAR is extending its footprint in U.S. aviation security after being authorized to enroll passengers in TSA PreCheck through its airport kiosks. The pods capture identity data and biometrics, feeding enrollment into TSA’s risk-based screening program.
TSA is simultaneously widening deployment of facial-matching Credential Authentication Technology units at checkpoints, reducing reliance on boarding passes and increasing touchless identity checks. Together, the moves deepen biometric dependencies in airport flows and raise questions about data governance and traveler choice.
