US: CBP testing biometric facial recognition with TSA at JFK Terminal 7
US Customs and Border Protection initiated a 30-day test of facial recognition biometric technology at a TSA international checkpoint at New York-JFK Terminal 7. In the demonstration, which expands on biometric exit system technology CBP is already deploying at several US international airports, the agency is entering TSA processes into the capabilities of biometric facial recognition technology, part of the CBP’s stated goal “of transforming and improving air travel, making it smoother, seamless and more efficient…while also enhancing the security of the process.” Similar to procedures in place at certain gates at other US airports, CBP will use flight manifests to create a photo gallery of travellers boarding international flights collected from travellers’ images from passports, visas and other travel documents. <br/>
