New airport security tool may help travelers get to flights faster

Описание: A new partnership could help travelers at Sea-Tac airport get to flights faster, and if you become a member, you won't even need to pull out your identification.

It's called eGates. If you've traveled abroad, you may have seen them before.

Now they are coming to the U.S., and have already launched in Atlanta, and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) is one of the next airports on the list.

TSA is partnering with CLEAR to launch the new eGates for CLEAR+ members.

If you have a membership, you will not have to show your ID to a TSA officer. Instead, you will verify your identity using a biometric scanner.

The announcement and rollout come before millions will be traveling to and around the U.S. for the World Cup next summer at a time when TSA is seeing the busiest travel days ever, so these new systems could be a real time saver.
