The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is aiming for a streamlined travel experience in airports across the country in the coming years.

When asked what the TSA experience will be like for travelers by 2030, Adam Stahl, acting deputy administrator for the organization, said onstage at Skift Global Forum last week that he hopes it will be “incredibly seamless.”

“There are passport derived digital ID credentials that are either out on select smartphones … or are on the verge of coming out,” Stahl said. “We have a touchless identity solution as well that a lot of the airlines are using [at] select airports in the United States.”

Stahl said the solution allows travelers to skip taking out a form of ID.
