The U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced the beginning of its testing of facial comparison technology Monday at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
The agency will require passengers to present their boarding passes while a digital photo is taken of them. This procedure will occur before passengers enter the loading bridge connected to the plane. Once the photo is taken, CBP will compare the image to a previously provided photo of the passenger.
