- atoav 7y agoEven if it would, no airline has the resources to have somebody look at your face anyways. They don’t even look at you boarding pass. Most of the time they just let you scan the barcode and if the light is green you are good to go.
- SilasX 7y agoI'm imagining the GDPR delete request for that: "Please delete the records you have on me, where 'me' is, um, <snaps selfie>." (Not saying that's a bad system or anything, just think it's funny how the concept of identifiers plays out here.)

- RightMillennial 7y agoYou can already pass customs in an airport through face recognition in the EU. I don't see it as much of a stretch for it to be extended to boarding.
- YUMad 7y agoYou mean border control? You can't, actually. Those passport-scanning, camera-enabled gates are not automated, they are remotely operated.
