Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport installs CAT-2 facial recognition units for touchless ID verification.

Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport has installed Credential Authentication Technology (CAT-2) units that use facial recognition to match passengers' faces with their IDs, replacing the need for boarding passes. This touchless system, which can verify over 2,500 IDs, aims to increase efficiency, ensure passenger safety, and detect fraudulent IDs. Travelers can opt out for manual ID verification, and all collected photos are deleted after verification.
