Could your Samsung phone replace your passport?

Anyone who travels a lot knows the moment. You reach the TSA line, your bag slides off your shoulder, your boarding pass is somewhere on your phone and your passport somehow sinks to the bottom of your carry-on. Samsung wants to make that routine less annoying.

The company has partnered with CLEAR to launch Samsung ID with CLEAR, a free digital ID inside Samsung Wallet. It uses information from a U.S. passport and lets eligible Galaxy users verify their identity at more than 250 TSA checkpoints that support digital IDs.
