> One reason to opt out even though everyone says “they already have your picture 1000 different ways” is that these cameras are not normal cameras, they are stereoscopic close-range cameras that take a 3D image of your face. That takes facial recognition accuracy up to 95%+, from 70% or less on a normal photo.
Interesting, I'm fairly sure the cameras at one US airport I was (maybe Salt Lake City?) were just bog standard Logitech C920 like my previous webcam. Do you have more information on the cameras?
- prmoustache 2y agoHaven't seen the setup but it seems possible to me that there may be several cameras, one that is clearly visible and used to give visual feedback in the computer screen so that you put your face in the right place, and another one that actually do the biometric scan.

- hhh 2y agoThe automated passport gates have way more, but the manual photo checks by guards are indeed a mounted C920.
