Earlier this year, the TSA and the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport announced they were working together to start testing facial verification for selected Delta Air Lines SkyMiles members at TSA checkpoints. Like others on this list, Detroit airport officials heralded the automated process for its “touchless” qualities.

“Particularly now, in the midst of this pandemic, self-service technologies that enhance security and reduce physical contact seem worthwhile to test, and we are glad to support this initiative,” Detroit’s TSA Federal Security Director Steve Lorincz said in a statement. “This is one of many such pilots at domestic airports, and we continue new test parameters, this time with airline and interagency partners.”
