Confirmed this today. MorphoTrust was stamped right on the front of the machine. It's the Cat - B - Piss system. No photo, as there were not enough people in Pre-Check to allow photo discretion.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has selected MorphoTrust USA as a provider that will vie to supply the agency with new technology designed to improve the airline passenger security screening process. Now in its pilot stage, MorphoTrust’s technology authenticates drivers’ licenses, passports and other common identification before correlating validated passengers with their boarding passes.
The new system, known as Credential Authentication Technology / Boarding Pass Scanning System (CAT/BPSS), is expected to enhance the current process, which relies on human eyes, ultra-violet lights and loupes to check the authenticity of identity documents presented by travelers. The new technology used in the pilot will automatically verify multiple security features on the identification, further enhancing the security of the screening process.

No mention of Costco or Student ID's. Maybe that will be in the full roll-out.
