Starting in mid-2026, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) expanded its biometric identity verification program, TSA PreCheck Touchless ID, to 65 domestic airports.

The 65-Airport Milestone for TSA PreCheck Touchless ID Expanding Biometric Infrastructure Nationwide The expansion of Touchless ID to 65 airports by mid-2026 scales biometric infrastructure across the U.S. national aviation network.

Many travelers routinely compare TSA PreCheck, Clear, and Touchless ID to evaluate expedited security options.

When entering the general PreCheck screening area, follow overhead directional signs or floor markings designated specifically for "Touchless ID" or "Biometric Verification."

Touchless ID builds upon this modernized digital identity framework, creating a seamless pathway through terminal screening.
