Face Scanning Cameras To Replace Passport Control Officers
'Passport control officers at airports are to be phased out as new biometric face scanning cameras are to be rolled out under new UK border control measures.
The scheme works by scanning passengers' faces and comparing them to photographs digitally stored on microchips in new biometric passports.
The technology, currently being trialed at Manchester airport is compatible with biometric passports issued throughout the EU, Norway, Switzerland and Iceland.'
