The Transportation Security Administration is starting to use new technology to verify passengers’ identities.

The new CAT-2 units compare the traveler’s photo on the ID against the in-person, real-time photo using facial matching technology.

Once a match is confirmed, a TSA officer will verify and the traveler can proceed to security screening.
