Airport security screening company CLEAR has announced a pilot program to bring biometric eGates to airports in host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

New electronic gates (eGates) are debuting at TSA security checkpoints to help expedite identity verification in select airports, thanks to a new TSA public-private partnership

Airport security-screening service Clear is piloting the use of biometric gates, with the first so-called eGate opening Tuesday at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Over the next month, Clear will follow with eGate installations at Seattle-Tacoma and Washington Reagan National. Clear's end-of-year goal is 30 airports.
