A new way to quickly get through security has landed at MIA. The Transportation Security Administration has rolled out TSA PreCheck Touchless ID.
Eligible travelers can move through security using facial recognition. No physical ID. No boarding pass. Just your face and you are on your way.
You must be a TSA PreCheck member. Then you create a profile with a participating airline, enter your Known Traveler Number, add your United States passport information, and opt in to the Touchless ID system.
The timing on this is perfect. South Florida is getting ready for major global events including the World Cup, which means even more visitors, more flights, and yes, more security lines. Anything that speeds things up at MIA is basically public service.
So whether you are jetting off to Europe, heading to New York for the weekend, or escaping to somewhere with less humidity, just know your face might now be your boarding pass.
