The plan is that travelers will insert their government-issued ID into a kiosk and stand in front of a camera that will scan their face for about five seconds. A computer program will compare the biometric data gathered with images the government already has on file, like those from your passport or driver's license. If it's a match, you're allowed through to the security line; if not, a human TSA agent will conduct their own review before letting you pass.
