The Future of Biometrics at the Airport

How our faces and fingerprints will change the way we board planes. In five years, experts say, boarding an international flight will require little more than stopping to pose for a photo, thanks to facial recognition technology. Yep, that’s right—no digging in your pocket or purse for passports or boarding passes; instead, you’ll pause for a camera and be on your way. Arriving in the U.S.? You’ll move through customs and immigration formalities in a matter of minutes—not hours—via the same facial scanning procedures.

TSA prepares for busy summer with 1,600 more officers, 50 more dogs

The Transportation Security Administration is preparing for a busy summer by hiring 1,600 more officers, 50 dogs and buying 35 3D scanners. Lawmakers and travel groups criticized TSA for allowing people from regular checkpoint lines into Precheck lanes if a bomb-sniffing dog has screened them, in an effort to shorten lines. But the concern is that if that policy ended, lines could grow hours long again.Precheck allows travelers who provide fingerprints and go through background checks in order to leave laptops and small containers of liquids in their carry-on bags, and keep wearing shoes and belts.

I travel internationally at least six times a year, often more, and customs in my home airport of San Francisco can sometimes take hours.
