If you have precheck and a passport (and at a participating airport), it seems touchless ID is becoming the “new” precheck in terms of a large efficiency improvement over standard security, though I wouldn’t be surprised if its benefit also becomes negligible in a few years.[1]
This could take longer, given that some people seem to be explicitly against using touchless ID because of privacy concerns. TSA claims that “Images are not used for law enforcement, surveillance, nor shared with other entities”, but it’s reasonable to be suspicious here.
