This is at JFK, does anyone know what they are used for? There wasn’t an obvious time when it was taking a picture.

This is an ICM Self Check In Kiosk, which features a “passenger feedback camera” and offers “a single token end to end processing experience”.

Basically exactly what you think it is, an advanced biometric system for reading your face. I don’t think airports have it activated yet, but maybe one day you’ll be able to check in without scanning a boarding pass or passport for the low price of your privacy.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
