Could your Samsung phone replace your passport?
Samsung has partnered with CLEAR to launch Samsung ID with CLEAR, a digital ID stored in Samsung Wallet that uses U.S. passport information for identity verification at select TSA checkpoints. The feature is available to U.S. passport holders with compatible Samsung smartphones but requires a physical ID as a backup due to limited TSA checkpoint support.
