JFK Airport Using Face Recognition Technology

Customs agents unveiled the biometric technology on Tuesday.
Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske told WCBS-TV that the technology was implemented to help reduce human error. He said the images will be deleted unless it is determined that additional enforcement action is required.
