Delta Air Lines starts later this year with the first 'biometric terminal' of   
   the United States. Passengers traveling to an international destination can   
   therefore travel through Terminal F at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta   
   International Airport using facial recognition, from the entrance to the gate.   
       
   Face recognition will be applied at check-in counters, baggage delivery,   
   security check and when entering the aircraft. In addition, international   
   travelers arriving at Terminal F can pass passport control using facial   
   recognition.   
       
   Not only Delta Air Lines passengers, but also KLM, Air France, Virgin Atlantic   
   and Aeromexico partner airlines can use the technology.   
       
   Passengers who want to walk 'biometrically' through the terminal must enter   
   passport data during online check-in. Then they have to pass a checkpoint in   
   the lobby of Terminal F for a quick facial. Travelers who do not need   
   biometric controls can, as usual, pass the checkpoints.   
       
   Passengers traveling Terminal F also benefit from the presence of special CT   
   scanners at two automated control gates where it is no longer necessary to   
   remove electronic equipment from the hand luggage.
