Facial recognition technology may be implemented at UK border control as early as next year, potentially allowing British holidaymakers to bypass passport queues at airports and ports. Four companies have trialed the technology, which scans faces and matches them to passport photos. The aim is to speed up security, and travelers may be able to pass through "contactless corridors" without leaving their cars. Data will be matched against information provided during passport application.
