American Airlines has reportedly started offering facial recognition technology to speed boarding at its Singapore-Fort Worth International gates. Images are sent to a database run by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) force for matching with passport pictures. The airline said it didn’t store the picture, and that the technology was more secure than a traditional boarding pass. It's not known whether the CBP stores the image. Facial recognition is also used at Dallas, Heathrow and Los Angeles International airports.
