Aviation futurists envision a time when air travel won't be such a slog - where driverless cars deliver us to the airport, and mind-numbing lines to check luggage and clear security are a distant memory - thanks to technology that scans your face and fingerprints and even tracks your wayward suitcase.
The number of people departing from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport is expected to grow from 18.5 million passengers to about 27 million over the next two decades.
