LONDON - British border officials say they plan to test a new facial recognition system at airports this summer to see if it can boost security and reduce overcrowding.
The Home Office says details about the scope of the program will be released in the coming months before it is put into operation.
Iris scanners are already in use at many UK airports for travellers who register for the program.
The British newspaper The Guardian said Friday that travellers with British or European passports with embedded biometric data can use the new system.
Unmanned security gates with computers will be set up to scan each person's face to determine if it matches passport data.
Some experts are skeptical about whether the technology is ready for widespread use.
