Nashville Airport Launches Touchless Biometric ID Tech at Security

Last week, on August 12, Nashville International Airport became the first in Tennessee and thirty-fifth in the nation to debut ‘Clear’ biometric identity scanners, providing passengers with an expedited, touchless security screening option. The Clear kiosks utilize iris or fingerprint scans to verify users’ identities and flight information.
Instead of waiting in line to present an identification card and boarding documents, customers can go to a Clear kiosk, which slightly resembles like an old-school payphone, and gaze briefly into the scanner or apply their fingerprint for recognition. It will then display the person’s name and photo as they’re cleared to pass through the checkpoint.
