Miami International Airport Jumps On The Biometric Identity Verification Bandwagon

Travelers flying from MIA can now bypass traditional passport and ID checks. CLEAR program members simply verify their identification through fingerprint or iris scans and proceed to security. Memberships start at $179, but members can add additional family members to their plan for $50 (and children under 18 can be added free of charge).

Pricey though it may be, the CLEAR program is an interesting step forward toward airport identity verification systems which are both faster (by cutting out the human element) and more secure (with the help of state of the art identification technology).  CLEAR kiosks are now in 12 major airports throughout the US.

Your may not be able to fly CLEAR from your home airport just yet (or may be on the fence about paying $179 for membership), but you can bring the same biometric technology trusted by MIA to your business’s security systems. Fingertec offers affordable biometric identification solutions perfect for enterprises small and large. These include biometric door locks, access control devices, and Ingress Visitor Management System software–a fantastic tool for monitoring building security and tracking when employees leave and return. In the office, biometric tech makes getting in, clocking in, and logging in easier and faster than ever, by offering employees the opportunity to bypass time-consuming tasks such as entering codes, passwords, user names, etc.
