WASHINGTON – Last Wednesday, TSA Administrator David Pekoske and TSA officials joined U.S. Travel Association leaders and members of the Seamless and Secure Travel Commission to demonstrate advanced security checkpoint technology at the Innovation Checkpoint at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.
The commission – which launched in January in response to an eye-opening study on America’s flagging global competitiveness – comprises former government officials and private sector experts tasked with creating policy recommendations for the federal government to modernize the travel experience, increase U.S. competitiveness and facilitate growth.

The Las Vegas visit was an opportunity for TSA and DHS Science & Technology Directorate to showcase the cutting-edge innovations that bolster transportation security and revolutionize the travel experience. At the tour, commission members flying on a United flight experienced TSA PreCheck Touchless ID and learned about TSA’s commitment to industry collaboration – including current partnerships with United Airlines and Delta Air Lines – in providing Touchless Identity Verification at eligible TSA PreCheck locations.
