If you’re a CLEAR+ member flying through Atlanta, DC, or Seattle soon, you might get to try something pretty futuristic biometric eGates that match your face to your ID and boarding pass in under six seconds. CLEAR and TSA just launched a pilot at ATL, with DCA and SEA up next. It’s all ahead of the 2026 World Cup and America’s 250th, when airport crowds are expected to break records.
I’m honestly pumped. The idea of bypassing the TSA podium entirely and heading straight to screening sounds like the upgrade we’ve been needing. CLEAR says the tech’s fast, secure, and opt-in only. Would you use it or does it feel a little too Big Brother?
