Facial Recognition Software

[beagleboy]

On Twitter a lady boarding a JetBlue flight said the facial recognition was all she needed to board a plane - nobody asked for her boarding pass. JetBlue's response was that they transmit your image to the government who then says it if it okay or not for you to board a plane.

The Department of Homeland Security in a report released Wednesday said that it is aiming to use facial recognition technology on 97 percent of departing air passengers within the next four years.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which is a part of Homeland Security, said that it believes it can implement facial recognition technology in airports across the country by 2023 by partnering with airports and airlines, which help the agency deploy cameras to capture peoples' faces.

CBP has been implementing this program, which photographs passengers at their airport gates before they board their flights, in 2017. By 2018, the agency had unveiled the program at 15 U.S. airports.

The program, called "Biometric Exit," cross-references the images of departing passengers with a "gallery" of images photos from visa and passport applications. The matching service allows CBP to create a record of the passenger's departure, which they can then use to figure out if the individual has overstayed their visa or if they are in the country legally otherwise.

It's when the coporations start using it to advertise that I will hate this technology.
