It's only a proposal for now, so not an actual change yet.

Third, DHS proposes to define the term biometrics. Fourth, this rule proposes to increase the biometric modalities that DHS collects, to include iris image, palm print, and voice print.

Honestly, all this is going to do is just bog down the process even more if it goes through. Look at how difficult it is right now merely to get fingerprints done.

The first time I went to get my Nexus card, not too long ago, I had to go to some abandoned customs warehouse where I answered some questions 5 min and then 15 minutes trying to get some POS Logitech hobby grade scanner to read my prints. Pro tip: don't wash your hair for 5 days prior to you appt because you will need that oil on your forehead to grease up your fingers and get a good read.

I noticed last weekend at LAX International Arrivals the automated passport control kiosk software was changed so that you no long needed to put on your passport.Ā  It brought up my name and flight number by using my face.

They had that in place in DFW in 2018-9 for a while. I encountered it a couple of times .. made it very easy considering the machine never seems to be able to ā€œseeā€ my GC.. but then it was back to the card or passport .. I had assumed it was a trial runĀ only ...Ā
