Does anybody know about new ID scans at front of security checkpoint? I saw the news from ABC News. I did not realize know that they have a computer ID scans. When you arrive at security checkpoint. You are required to shows your ID & boarding pass. TSA will scans your ID & boarding pass. If you have valid ID. TSA will verified your ID and the computer will had to say. They will tell you. If someone who stolen ID or travel fraudulent. You will not able flying for those days. You could be arrested on charges with travel fraudulent.

I have a number of IDs (Global Entry, retired military, current Federal employee, state drivers license, passport, etc.). Which one would TSA know is "valid"?

...and the picture does appear to show one of the ill-fated ID verification scanners, but that's not what this article is about. It's yet another warning about TSA's latest theatrics regarding devices with drained batteries, which I'm positive was being discussed in another thread.

Yes, can you see it? They will scans your ID & boarding pass. If you are real identifiable. You can go through at security. If you are not real ID. TSA will notify the LEO right way. You will not able flying for those days. You could be arrested on charges with travel fraudulent. If someone who stolen the ID. You will being caught.

Right now, the TSA is doing the following:
The Credential Authentication Technology (CAT) automatically authenticates identity documents that are presented to TSA by passengers during the security checkpoint screening process. In late 2013, TSA issued a Request for Information (RFI) to conduct market research to better understand capabilities available in industry for CAT. TSA anticipates that the new technology will enhance security and increase efficiency by automatically verifying passenger identification and obtaining the passenger’s vetting status.

It would seem that the technology TSA is seeking is more for validity of the ID item itself ("real" passport, drivers license, etc.) over a fake ID than "is this the ID for this person?". Am I missing something?
