Clear Brings Touchless Security Screening to Sacramento International Airport

March 19, 2021

On March 18, Clear announced its trusted and secure identity technology and expedited lanes are now available in Terminal A and Terminal B at Sacramento International Airport (SMF). Clear is a secure identity company using your eyes to confirm you are you and help you move through experiences fast and frictionless. The announcement is part of the company’s continued growth throughout California. In addition to SMF, Clear’s touchless technology is located in 36 airports and 100+ other partners across sports, entertainment, work, and travel.

As air travel rebounds and the number of people passing through airport checkpoints continues to grow, Clear is committed to doing its part to promote the health and safety of all airport travelers and agents. Clear’s touchless travel experience minimizes unnecessary passenger and airport personnel interaction by eliminating the need for Clear members to hand travel documents to agents during the security screening process. 

“Clear’s technology brings speed and safety to Sacramento International Airport at a time when innovation is needed most to best serve our customers,” said Cindy Nichol, director of airports, Sacramento County Airport System. “We look forward to Clear bringing touchless travel to our airport passengers and elevating their experience.” 

“We strive to deliver unstoppable experiences that keep our members moving faster and safer through airport security,” said CLEAR Chairman and CEO Caryn Seidman-Becker. “We will continue providing our customers with frictionless interactions as we expand our secure technology platform to more networks nationwide.”
