TSA checkpoints at LAX to start using facial recognition as part of passenger screening process
LOS ANGELES -- The TSA is looking toward the future and its new technology reflects that. The TSA recently introduced a new facial recognition technology at some of LAX's airport security checkpoints.
"Amazing because we just walked right through," said Elizabeth Edwards an LAX passenger."I've never walked right through like this." All this happens without having to exchange personal belongings or documents between the passenger and the TSA agent, which some passengers appreciate in light of the pandemic.
TSA plans to use this new technology for roughly 90 days at LAX, in which time they will gather data to determine whether they will expand the system nationwide.
