@adamshostack @SteveBellovin @ehasbrouck@union.place - (1) Human gate agents are faster and more accurate at checking boarding passes against passports than is facial recognition; (2) it's surprisingly (or unsurprisingly?) common for people to get on the wrong plane, have 2 people issued boarding passes for the same seat, etc. Human gate agents and flight attendants can sort these things out, if robotic passenger processing doesn't get in the way.
