Biometrics catches Fake Passport holder at POE

[Cyberfx1024 7,980]

 

A D.C.-area airport’s brand new facial recognition program caught an alleged imposter trying to enter the country on a false passport, the first such detection at an airport using facial biometrics, according to a Customs and Border Protection release.

CBP officials at Washington Dulles International Airport Wednesday said the newly implemented facial biometric program identified a 26-year-old Congolese man attempting to enter the U.S. using a French passport.

The man, traveling from Sao Paulo, Brazil on Tuesday, went through the new international entry system at Dulles Airport, which brings travelers directly to a CBP officer for document inspection. While the documents are being scanned, a biometric camera analyzes the passenger’s face and compares it against records associated with the passport or other travel documents.

In this instance, the system flagged the man as a mismatch for the passport on record and he was removed for additional screening. At that time, officers said he became “visibly nervous” and an authentic ID card showing he was a citizen of the Republic of Congo was found in his shoe.

Officials said CBP is withholding the man’s name while the investigation is ongoing.

The program was in its third day of operation at the airport, having launched on Aug. 20.

“Facial recognition technology is an important step forward for CBP in protecting the United States from all types of threats,” said Casey Durst, director of CBP's Baltimore Field Office, in a statement. “Terrorists and criminals continually look for creative methods to enter the U.S. including using stolen genuine documents. The new facial recognition technology virtually eliminates the ability for someone to use a genuine document that was issued to someone else.

Poor asylum seeker. Have we no soul ?

If the suspect is deported to Congo, the program is bigoted and racist.

And what about people who undergo facelifts, or who are disfigured in fires or accidents?

Not sure this works when someone enters the US without inspection.

biometrics doesn't work with open borders (which we have, thanks obama), asylum seekers claim asylum by using fake passports.. how is this happening? such contradiction, you guys are confusing. bet a wall will solve it.

Whoever said anything about Obama?  Also, where was it written this was an asylum seeker?  Doesn’t seem very confusing to me.

A wall will certainly help against those that try to come by land. Biometrics will help by air.

I didn't know illegals crossing the border in the middle of the desert had to show their passports and submit to biometric screening.

Well the DNC deputy chair seems to be in favor of open borders, of course he is an accused woman beater.  There are a lot of DNC controlled cities that actively protect the illegal immigrants at the expense of their citizens, and the DNC does seem to have a lot of members calling for the abolishment of ICE and supporting “catch and release”.  How are we supposed to interpret that from a political party standpoint?  I received a call from the Democrat running for my district’s House seat and I asked the caller how she, the candidate, stands on immigration, I got the canned “comprehensive immigration reform” response.  When I asked the caller to elaborate as to the candidate’s definition of CIR they were at a loss and tried to switch the topic to environmental issues.  It was comedic.

I'm scared I have aged so much since I started this whole visa process and I look different to my passport photo, will I still be admitted? 

 

Sorry thought I would get the snowflake post in before the forum goes nuts 🤯
