Facial recognition machines are to be installed at airports to replace passport officers under border control plans announced today.

The machines will scan a travellers’ face to compare them with the images on their biometric passports and open an automated gate when a match is registered.

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, who unveiled details of the scheme today, claims it will shorten immigration queues and boost border security.
