Facial Recognition to Replace Passports in Security Overhaul at Australian Airports
January 23rd, 2017
Via: Guardian:
A radical overhaul of security at Australia’s international airports is the first step towards the government’s goal of automating 90% of air traveller processing by 2020.
The Department of Immigration and Border Protection will start moving towards a “contactless� system for arrivals this year, Fairfax reported on Sunday – the most ambitious stage of the Seamless Traveller initiative announced in 2015.
Incoming paper passenger cards would be abolished and manned stations would be replaced by electronic stations and automatic triage.
Passengers would not need to show their passports, instead being processed by biometric recognition of their faces, irises and/or fingerprints.
Under the new system, the existing SmartGates that scan passports electronically – introduced less than 10 years ago – would be retired.
