For travelers enrolled in TSA PreCheck, getting through airport security without ever pulling out an ID is becoming a little more straightforward. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has partnered with Google Wallet, Google’s digital wallet app that can be used for storing credit cards, boarding passes, and digital ID on Android devices, to simplify enrollment in its growing Touchless ID program. The program uses facial recognition to quickly verify the identity of TSA PreCheck members at airport security checkpoints instead of requiring them to hand over a driver’s license or passport.

The move reflects TSA’s broader push toward a more digital airport experience. Over the past several years, the agency has expanded support for mobile driver’s licenses, biometric screening, and digital identity verification.
