New self-service TSA facial recognition software available at select airports - The Points Guy

I wonder how my doppelganger feels about that

..."Some cool new security features are coming soon to an airport near you.

At 16 domestic airports this summer, you can scan your driver's license or passport in lieu of handing over a boarding pass and ID for inspection while passing through some Transportation Security Administration security checkpoints thanks to updated facial recognition software currently being rolled out across the country.

Currently, a few airports don't require travelers to show a boarding pass, as they instead use credential authentication technology. A TSA officer scans each traveler's physical ID in a machine that checks in real-time if the individual is eligible to fly that day.

However, this new rollout from the TSA takes things one step further. Passengers self-scan their ID, and facial recognition technology matches the passenger to the ID instead of a human officer doing the visual comparison."...

It's awesome to hear that the TSA is rolling out facial recognition tech at more airports. The idea of scanning your own ID and having it matched with facial recognition software is pretty slick I can totally see how this could speed up the security process and reduce the need for lots of interaction with TSA agents. It's all about convenience, right? Speaking of travel ease, I recently stumbled upon TTPTracker, and it's been a real time-saver for me in terms of cutting down on appointment wait times.
