TSA Check: Self-Service Checkpoints And Fewer Pat-Downs? Yes, Please.

According to a new Request for Information (RFI) posted by the Department of Homeland Security, the government has embraced "a future vision for increasing aviation security effectiveness from curb to gate while dramatically reducing wait times and improving the passenger experience." To enable this vision, the TSA's Innovation Task Force is considering the development of a passenger self-screening solution to transform TSA PreCheck, the expedited airport security clearing program.
