Delta claims 30-second bag drop as face ID spreads to some 40 airports
Eligible Delta passengers can drop bags and clear security by showing their face. The speed figure is the airline's own.
Deployed
The system went live in 2021 at ATL and DTW under the name Delta Digital ID, and now runs as TSA PreCheck Touchless ID.
Delta's media kit (4 March 2026) lists bag drop and security at seven hubs, including ATL, JFK and LAX, with security-only lanes at more than 30 other airports. The programme now spans several US airlines: by NerdWallet's count it covered 65 airports as of June 2026.
