Washington The Transportation Security Administration said Thursday that it has no plans to make biometric identity-verification mandatory, although the agency continues to study and pilot different technologies to make passenger screening more efficient.

Customs and Border Protection said earlier this month that photos of up to 100,000 travelers stored in a contractor database had been compromised.
