US border patrol introduces facial recognition at Texas bridge
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recently announced the start of a facial biometrics pilot program at the Anzalduas International Bridge in Texas for travelers arriving in the United States. This process for international travel, known as Simplified Arrival, uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States.
The new technology will be deployed at two inbound vehicle lanes at the Anzalduas International Bridge.
