The TSA scanners use a hi res stereoscopic camera to take a 3D photo of your facial features. It's not the same as your passport photo

- refurb 2y agoDifferent tech for sure. But I have global entry which is all done through facial recognition now (and matching to passenger manifests). No passport needed. The camera they used was just a normal DSLR, but it had no problem matching me. The tech is getting really good. In Singapore you can enter through automated gates without ever interacting with a person or showing a passport. All through facial recognition if they have a photo on file (citizens and permanent residents). I assume the tech will get good enough to scan entire crowds very quickly and identify everyone.
- giantg2 2y agoPretty sure many DMVs are using that tech now. Wouldn't surprise me if it's Real ID related and integrated with TSA.
