eGates at UK airports do programmatically allow entry based solely on a facial recognition match between the person standing at the gate and the file on their passport's chip. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
- mseebach 9y ago(+ run the passport through a gamut of watch lists and risk profiles) The border agent, when handed an EU passport, does exactly the same (match the photo to the face) and nothing much more. What exactly is the problem with automating that?
- JetSpiegel 9y agoA passport agent can't have virtually infinite recall of your pictures in a miriad of other unrelated locations.
- dzhiurgis 9y agoNot sure about that. I certainly seen the guy in the booth looking at all those photos, at least in the early days gates were deployed.
