Aren't all major airports (Port of Entry) scanning faces of International passengers at the immigration check?

I had to pass through a visa check the first time entered the US in 2011, and they had a tiny webcam like thing that took a picture.. what is new to report now?


Looks like the new part is scanning the faces of departing passengers, even US citizens.

In reality it's not that big of a change, since you needed to enter all of your passport information with DHS before departing. You either did it online ahead of time with the airline, or the agent does it at check-in.


Now you can burst into outrage blaming Trump.
