I tried this. It’s junk. So much slower than a boarding pass scan.

I’ve seen good setups for this like at the UK border. This is not the same.

Almost everyone got rejected and got looked at by staff, especially black people who the machine seemed incapable of recognizing. Children? No chance.

I get it, there are privacy concerns which should rank higher, but you don’t even need to pull them out here. This is just useless bad tech.

I was just going to say I've done this in the UK. You put your passport on a scanner and look into the camera, took a full 5 seconds though, but since there are many more of these than border guards it's still faster.

Those don't use facial recognition, it's a bunch of border guards behind a wall manually evaluating if you match the data on the passport.
