The newer version of TSA CAT
The traveler scans their ID on their side, a tablet/screen takes a photo, and compares the two. The examples in the video seem to be some local or pre-cleared "no valid boarding pass" for the news that doesn't actually pull up the secure flight info and just says the screening type is "BP check". Additionally, it seems to only work with the mobile drivers licenses in Apple Wallet for states that support it (otherwise, you still exchange the document like with the current 1.0 version of CAT).

It doesn't seem to be any speed improvement at this point, but it is a pilot, so who knows what the future holds.
