Face scans to start in UK airports - Yahoo! Tech
Yahoo Tech reports: "It's like something out of a sci-fi movie: This summer, UK airports (it's not clear precisely which ones) will begin using face scanning technology to verify that travelers are who they say they are. The scanners will be used to automate some passport checks with the goal of easing congestion in security lines caused by slowpoke humans verifying identity through comparing passport photographs with the face standing before them."

Comment: I think I'd like a "slowpoke human" to check my passport rather than a scanner and a database.
