Abstract

TAKE A LOOK around the airport during your travels this summer and you might spot a string of new technologies at every touchpoint: from pre-arrival, bag drop, and security to the moment you board the plane. • In this new world, your face is your boarding pass, your electronic luggage tag transforms itself for each new flight, and gate scanners catch line cutters trying to sneak onto the plane early. • It isn't the future—it's now. Each of the technologies to follow is in use at airports around the world today, transforming your journey-before-the-journey.
