Beyond seamlessly getting through security checkpoints, facial recognition technology can also be used to check a bag.
To utilize the technology, customers must store their passport information and either TSA PreCheck or Global Entry Known Traveler Number in their SkyMiles profile in Delta's app and then opt-in at check-in. When customers go to pass through security, their image is taken, encrypted, and sent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection's facial biometric matching service, according to the airline.
Delta said participating in the program is voluntary and the airline does not save or store any biometric data.
"TSA appreciates working with industry stakeholders to design, build and test innovative technologies that enhance security and improve the passenger experience," the agency's requirements and capabilities analysis acting assistant administrator Keith Goll said in a statement. "We continue to work ceaselessly to leverage the latest technology and partnerships to ensure that the traveling experience of our PreCheck passengers is as seamless, convenient and secure as possible."
Delta said the program will first be available in Atlanta's South Security Checkpoint in the coming weeks before expanding to select bag drop and boarding areas before the end of the year.
