Coming Soon: A Biometric Fingerprint Scan Just to Leave the Airport?

‘TSA ‘detention pods’ currently being rolled out at major airports across the U.S. have biometric and object-detecting capabilities, according to promotional material from Eagle Security Group, the company that manufactures the devices. As we reported yesterday, the pods, which critics have likened to cattle grids, are currently in place at Syracuse International Airport as well as Atlantic City International Airport terminal exits. These portals were designed and approved by TSA which is important,” said Syracuse Airport Commissioner Christina Callahan. Travelers enter the pod where they are briefly detained before a green light shows and they are allowed to leave the terminal.’
