Future Checkpoint
IATA unveils plans for an airport security system intended to sharply reduce check-in time. The International Air Transport Association says the new system would feature iris scanners to match a passenger's eye to a passport and information chips inside passports to identify passengers who might pose a security risk. Travelers would pass through one of three 20-foot tunnels and be subject to different degrees of searches depending on the level of security risk. The system should be in place within five years; www.iata.org.
