The TSA is Enlisting CLEAR to Help Finalize PreCheck Enrollment
TSA PreCheck and CLEAR are two distinctly different programs that can get you through airport security faster. Now, they're teaming up - but not how you might expect.

Sooooo... is that a company perk?

What this doesnt do is change your process once you finalize enrollment. If you have both, running through clear ends you up right at the line at the bins where you don't remove shoes, liquids and electronics. . If you only have Clear, you end up at the bins where you still need to do all that kabuki theatre stuff.
Exactly.
TSA is quietly rolling out facial recognition tech to 400 US airports in coming years... so is YOURS on the list?
Facial recognition technology will be introduced at more than 400 U.S. airports
- Senators proposed a bill last year to block the technology at airports
- READ MORE: TSA is testing facial recognition technology at airports
Americans will soon be subjected to facial recognition screening in airports as a new program that is quietly rolling out the technology to 400 locations across the US.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is 'in the beginning stages of integrating automated facial recognition capability' to current systems that scan flyers' credentials but won't be fully operational until 2030 or 2040.
The upgrade, which claims to capture 'minimum data' will match the traveler's face to their identification document, flight status and vetting status - and the facial recognition system is already used at 25 airports.
While TSA touts the program as a way to 'improve security effectiveness and efficiency,' US government officials have called it 'a precursor to a full-blown national surveillance state.'

It's a wife and I did our global entry on Tuesday at the Reagan building in DC. Underground parking below the building. I think that cost is 14 bucks. It's right in the ground floor of the building for people interviewing. I think it took us each about a minute to a minute and a half. They asked for name, birthday, place of birth and if you've ever been arrested for anything.

Need appointment? Or walk in?

We both had appointments for 1030. Traffic was far better than expected and finding them in the building was quicker as well, so we got there about 940. They took us right way.

If you have gotten a passport photo you’re in the system
Not that it matters much, but you said you want people working, people need jobs.
Last time I heard, people wrote the code for the scanning tech. People designed and maintain those databases too. And the data mining queries and reports ... created by people.
Just sayin'

The vending machine thread reminded me of this one. We flew out of DCA 2 weeks ago to FLL then flew out of FLL a couple days ago back to DCA. Both airports do the facial recognition thing. I opted out both times with no issues - took an extra 5 seconds for the agents to check my identity. The agent in FLL seemed to cop an attitude with me when I opted out - I guess that's because she actually had to do her job at that point. I did see the signs at DCA about opting out, didn't notice any at FLL, but that could be because there was no line to get thru security.
On another note, CBP at the cruise terminals is a joke now. I guess since it is so easy for illegals to cross the border and bring in whatever they wish, they have finally decided to let real Americans into the country with no hassle as well.

More specific FLL = Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport
