Tampa International Airport has announced that Clear identity systems are expected to launch at its security screening checkpoints this autumn. The Hillsborough County Aviation Authority Board approved a contract on August 6 to bring Clear+ lanes and automated e-gates to each of Tampa’s four airside terminals for the first time. Clear+ members will be able to enter dedicated Clear+ lanes and move through an e-gate that verifies identity by matching a traveler’s face to their ID and boarding pass, before they move directly to physical screening. Airport CEO Michael Stephens said it is a convenience that many passengers have long requested. Related news, Tampa International approves final design for Airside D terminal
