story imageWishing the airline industry could get its act together to innovate around security hassles? Don't give up hope yet!

Security firm CLEAR has worked with Alaska Airlines to implement biometric identification of passengers willing to pay an annual fee of $245. Swiping fingers across a plate will replace a boarding pass and photo ID. The airline states that in their opinion 'Using biometrics as identification has a huge potential to simplify the travel experience and eliminate hassles'.

No word on what happens when someone decides to impersonate someone and hacks off their hand to use as identification.

Wrong. Friend of mine went to the US with his family. They squeezed his equipment then took him in for further investigation which included sticking a finger into his butt hole. The search for terrorists has expanded to searching for drugs. He will never go to the US ever again. Not if the trip was paid for.
