reservation, Al.com reported.
After the biometric identification, CLEAR
members move to the front of physical security
screening without having to remove their shoes.
The technology is available at more than 60
airports, including Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta
International Airport and Louis Armstrong New
Orleans International Airport. It was used earlier
this month at the Major League Baseball All-Star
Game in Cleveland. The service has about 3.8
million members, the company said.
In Birmingham, the service should improve
the experience of airport travelers, said Ronald
Mathieu, president and CEO of the Birmingham
Airport Authority.
“Our goal at BHM is to provide passengers an easy
and convenient travel experience,” he said.
The service employs about 25 people at the
airport, Howard Kass, the company’s executive
vice president for corporate affairs, said.
