The Pittsburgh International Airport has recently introduced new technology that enhances security at checkpoints by confirming a traveler’s ID and flight information in real time. This innovative Credential Authentication Technology scans a traveler’s photo ID and compares it to a real-time photo taken on the spot. Once a match is confirmed, the TSA officer can allow the traveler to proceed through the checkpoint without having to show a boarding pass.
Karen Keys-Turner, TSA’s federal security director for the airport, believes that this technology is an important step in the security screening process. It helps to detect fraudulent IDs and ensure that travelers are who they claim to be. Additionally, the system checks the passenger’s flight status to confirm that they are ticketed to fly out of the airport on the same day.
Despite its effectiveness, travelers are still required to check in with their airline and present their boarding pass at the gate. Those who prefer not to participate in the facial matching process can choose an alternative ID verification method. The TSA emphasizes the importance of identity verification to ensure the safety and security of all passengers at the airport.
