Albany airport implements credential authentication technology to improve screening
The Transportation Security Administration checkpoint at Albany International Airport is now using new technology that confirms the validity of a traveler’s identification (ID) and confirms their flight information in near real time.
“The technology enhances detection capabilities for identifying fraudulent documents such as driver’s licenses and passports at checkpoints and increases efficiency by automatically verifying passenger identification,” said Bart Johnson TSA’s Federal Security Director for Upstate New York. “The system will also confirm the passenger’s flight status in near real time through a secured connection.”
