Heathrow Airport to replace passport checks with something out of Black Mirror
London's Heathrow Airport is set to introduce a new system for passengers aimed towards replacing passport usage via facial recognition technology., the £50 million technology will see passengers visit kiosks in order to scan their passports before having a photograph taken.This is intended to remove the need for passports on subsequent journeys via Heathrow, where passengers will instead simply look at the camera when walking through security checks.
Heathrow currently brings about 78 millions passengers through its doors each year, and expects to introduce the new method this summer. “From the point of view of convenience it undoubtedly works, although customers will have concerns about how their data is protected and airports must be transparent about this.”
