All Canadian citizens to be photographed when entering and exiting the U.S., new regulations state [View all]
That'll really boost tourism.
The U.S. will soon require all non-citizens, including Canadians, entering and leaving the country to be photographed as part of new Department of Homeland Security regulations.
The security initiative is intended to build a comprehensive biometric data collection aimed at improving identity verification, combatting visa overstays and reducing passport fraud. It will involve the use of facial recognition technology matching live images of travellers with government records at all entry and exit points, including airports, seaports, and land borders.
