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

I've used one of those before at an airport and it worked exactly as you say. I think it was just for boarding though. I just walked forward and when I got to the front, they greeted me by name and I got on the plane. I don't remember having to show my passport or boarding pass that time either (but it was last year so I may have forgotten).

Since it needs a source to compare against, I'm curious where they captured your face info

TSA uses driver's license info

I used something like that with Global Entry at LAX.

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.
