TSA, CLEAR and eGate
Digest more
The company is planning “eGates” at major U.S. airports, using biometrics to match faces to IDs and boarding passes.
Airport security screening company CLEAR has announced a pilot program to bring biometric eGates to airports in host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
CLEAR airport security members get to skip the line at TSA checkpoints, saving time and stress. Membership costs $199 a year, but you might have free or discounted access through work or airlines.
Earlier this month, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that in certain airports, families will have their own dedicated screening lanes as part of a new initiative called “Families on the Fly.” That follows a change ending the Transportation Security Agency’s “shoes off” travel policy.
