Boston’s Logan Airport this year revealed it was one of the airports involved in the TSA test rollout. Prior to that, in 2020, U.S. Customs officials introduced a similar technology to screen international arrivals to the airport.

“TSA is exploring the use of facial recognition technology to automate identity verification at airport checkpoints and modernize the screening experience for travelers,” a TSA spokesperson said in an interview with The Boston Herald earlier this year. “Facial recognition technology has the potential to enhance security effectiveness, improve operational efficiency and yield a more streamlined passenger experience at the TSA checkpoint.”
