CBP Rolls Out Facial Recognition at Silicon Valley Airport
AUGUST 15, 2018
International travel at the Mineta San José International Airport has doubled in recent years.
Things move fast in Silicon Valley. Companies can boom or bust overnight, innovative technologies constantly disrupt markets, and technologists are now bringing the same speed to international terminals in the region’s biggest airport.

Customs and Border Protection last week announced an initiative with Mineta San José International Airport to roll out facial recognition technology for all international travelers entering and leaving the country. The airport, which sits within 20 miles of Facebook and Google headquarters, becomes the first West Coast hub to commit to full biometric entry and exit.

The facility began using biometric facial recognition to process all arriving international travelers on June 25 and this fall it will implement similar technology for at seven gates to scan passengers before they leave the country.

“As one of the nation’s main regions of innovation, Silicon Valley is at the forefront of transforming the travel experience through biometrics,” said CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan in a statement. “CBP is excited to partner with SJC, which serves as another example of what we can achieve by advancing the entry/exit mandate through public-private collaboration, adding benefits for travelers and stakeholders across the air travel ecosystem.”

With Silicon Valley playing an increasingly significant role on the world stage, international travel to the region has skyrocketed. In recent years, traffic at the San José hub more than doubled from some 200,000 international arrivals in 2015 to nearly 440,000 in 2017.

Facial recognition technology not only increases airport security but also allows CBP to process more people in the same amount of time without increasing its staff, according to the agency.
