This is already happening. People visiting the US and entering through airports have had their fingerprints and facial biometrics captured since 2004, and it's been progressively expanded since then. All visa applications have the same information captured at interview, too.
The current large expansion planned is capturing facial biometrics at exit, and using this to confirm departure (instead of relying on airline manfiests).

- bsenftner 9y agoPeople need to stop thinking gait is a useful metric. It's been disproved as an effective biometric, and is largely ignored by the (non-fraudulent) biometrics research community and companies offering products based on said research. There are simply too many trivial things that significantly alter an individual's gait to make it a meaningful metric.
