In a matter of seconds, CBP&#8217;s biometric facial comparison service will automatically compare the new photo of the traveller to images that the traveller has already provided to the government, such as passport and visa photos.\u00a0 Overall, the use of facial biometrics provides travellers with a secure, touchless process that streamlines air travel.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;CBP is excited to partner with Air Canada to provide travelers with a secure, touchless process for identity verification as they depart <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span> at SFO,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Diane J.
