Britanicii nu își vor mai scana pașapoartele la aeroport când revin în Marea Britanie: Va fi introdusă recunoașterea facială

Facial recognition technology may soon change how travelers return to the UK, potentially eliminating passport scanning at airports. New 'contactless borders' are expected to be introduced at Birmingham and East Midlands airports to reduce queues. The system will initially operate for British passport holders but may expand to other nationalities with biometric passports. Phil Douglas from Border Force stated this could speed up border checks by 25%. However, privacy activists warn of errors and surveillance risks, highlighting past incidents of misidentification. The Metropolitan Police has already used this technology in various public areas, raising concerns about legal implications for misidentified individuals.
