NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A security system named Clear will help fans skip the line at Madison Square Garden by just scanning your finger.

Fans can sign up for the feature at a Clear machine by scanning their government-issued ID, answering a series of personalized questions to prove their identity, and then having their fingerprints and irises scanned. The security system turns your body into a valid ID and is already used at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field, as well as major airports like JFK and LaGuardia.

In a statement, Clear CEO Caryn Seidman Becker said "Launching at MSG represents a major milestone for Clear, and we look forward to making our members’ experience there more efficient, easier and more predictable so they don’t miss out on what they came to see.”

Fast-track entry with Clear will be available at MSG beginning with today's Knick's game according to a report from metro.
