TSA begins testing fingerprint check-ins at two US airports
It's never a nice experience to stand in line at the airport for hours just to get a pat down when you get to the end. Hopefully, TSA's new biometric fingerprint tech could make air travel a more pleasant experience for most people. Starting this week, the Transportation Security Administration's fingerprint sensors will go through proof-of-concept testing at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport and at Denver International Airport. The test will last for four weeks,… (www.engadget.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Now, if they can just get those RFID chips placed in the back of the neck....
Good idea as long as its quick..
Will not work, scanner are slow. I been a member of CLEAR, a private company does part of TSA Pre check work and they use fingerprints and retina scan. I have not have fingerprints due to my past work, so the retina Scan takes longer than an ID check and a boarding pass. I watch the fingerprints and it takes longer than the retina scan.
Only if it speeds up the lines otherwise screw this... KCM is nice but unfortunately not at every airport
Good times at DEN crazy place to work if you have SIDA at DEN they have your fingerprints. And probably your soul for the new world order lol jk
From what it looks like, this only bypasses the ID check, not the bag screening, so I don't see how this will speed up security. It actually looks slower than boarding pass scanning (which again is never where the bottleneck is), so I don't see boarding going any faster, either.
according to the article, this is a "test only" situation, and it applies only to those who have the registered "pre flight" check in..it states this process serves as an id check and a boarding pass check..how would this interphase with the boarding pass readers at each gate? this might expedite the security checkpoint, but then it would slow the boarding process at the gate or require two different types of reading machines and two employees to board,until and unless the system is approved,and becomes a requirement for all,not just some registered travelers....
