A private company called Clear is already trying this on an opt-in basis in the US. In exchange for a quick iris scan, their service will let you skip security in half a dozen American airports.

Clear does not let you “skip security”. It simply lets you cut to the front of the line to be body-scanned or groped.

An official program called TSA PreCheck does actually let you skip the intrusive security screening, if you’re flying on certain airlines and undergo a background check.

Important distinction.

Kind of weird how this completely defies Twitter’s display guidelines and yet it is allowed to continue, while other (less well-known) apps are turfed for far less.
