No ID? No problem. In Sweden, all the identification you need to board an airplane is now at your fingertips—literally.

Passengers who opt to use the new biometric check-in system will scan their index finger as they drop off their baggage, and again at the gate. The two fingerprints are compared to confirm a passenger’s identity, and no other ID is required.Source: eTurboNews; read full article here.
