Have you flown international lately? This is what it looks like to land in the international terminal in most major US airports as well.
Have you? I travel a lot for both business and leisure. I’ve never been through anything like this. Maybe I’m just visiting more civilized places.
I flew into Boston from Europe three weeks ago.
I also flew into NYC from Europe earlier this year.
They use images of your face and biometrics. This is how travel works. It has nothing to do with how civilized you think you are.
Same, recently traveled from the US to Paris and they used a facial scanner. Also used one upon my return to the US and I have Global Entry.
Yeah, biometric identification will be de-facto standard for travelling in the future and we cannot avoid it unless we want to stop travelling.
