to Mario Diaz, Hobby Airport\u2019s Biometric Technology is a huge futuristic step. It will definitely take William P. Hobby Airport closer to its goal of becoming a 5-star facility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The airport predicts that passenger waiting-time at the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) checkpoints will cut down by half.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Further, Diaz also acknowledged partners CBP and Southwest Airlines\u2019 role in achieving the technological feat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_HOU_the_first_to_deploy_the_Biometric_Facial_Recognition_Technology\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Is HOU the first to deploy the Biometric Facial Recognition Technology?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">No, Geoge Bush Intercontinental Airport launched the Technology in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In late 2018, CBP, Southwest Airlines, and Houston Airport System introduced biometrics for departures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> William P Hobby Airport\u2019s biometric recognition system uses similar but cutting-edge Technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Biometric_Facial_Technology_What_International_passengers_should_expect\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Biometric Facial Technology: What International passengers should expect?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">All international arrivals at William P Hobby Airport must pause at the CBP inspection point for a photo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Customs and Border Protecting facial matching service will compare it with the previous IDs provided to the government, such as passport, visa, and others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If there is a mismatch or the system fails to present results, CBP shall perform a manual inspection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The same goes for any passenger that opts out of the biometric recognition technology. Such passengers have to notify officers at the inspection point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Next, you must present a valid travel document\/identification.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_the_Passenger_Information_Safe\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Is the Passenger Information Safe?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There is always a skeptical view towards change. If you are worried about your personal information, then you should not. Biometric Technology uses technically strong security safeguards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Moreover, it uses a minimal amount of personally identifiable information. However, the new photos of Foreign Nationals may be stored for an undisclosed amount of time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On the other hand, photos of US nationals will be erased within 12 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_Possible_to_Opt-out_of_the_Biometric_Facial_Comparison_Process\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Is it Possible to Opt-out of the Biometric Facial Comparison Process?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Although the new Technology is harmless, travelers can still choose to opt-out of the biometric facial recognition. However, it is not a wise move, especially if you value time. Also, the manual verification process takes much longer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You must notify an officer at the inspection checkpoint.
