This summer, TSA is adding another piece of technology in an attempt to make crowded airport security checkpoints even more seamless.

The new equipment, which is already rolling out to airports, is an updated ID scanner fitted with a biometric camera that uses facial recognition to verify passengers’ identities. The new machines match travelers’ facial scans to the photos on their driver’s license or passport and verifies that they’re a ticketed airline passenger.
