Delta Wants To Replace Travelers' Boarding Passes With Fingerprints

Delta is now letting some passengers use their fingerprints as a boarding pass at Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), the company announced Thursday. The upgrade comes after Delta, in partnership with Clear, launched in May a program in which its SkyMiles members could enter the Delta Sky Club at DCA by using their fingerprints. Now, they can board a plane by using their fingerprints as proof of identity.
