TSA Unveils Plan for Biometrics and Facial Recognition
The Transportation Security Administration unveiled a multistep plan earlier this week to expand facial recognition and biometric use to improve security efficiency and reduce wait times at airport security.
“With the threat to aviation evolving every day, developing the next generation of security technology with our industry partners is critically important,” said TSA Administrator David Pekoske in a TSA press release. “By expanding our use of biometrics, TSA secures its position as a global leader in aviation security and advances global transportation security standards.”
