Denver International Airport has implemented biometric facial recognition devices at 15 gates for international travelers, aiming to enhance safety and efficiency in air travel.

Passengers will need to pause for a photo at departure gates, with the system comparing the image to government records for verification. While some see it as a security and time-saving measure, others express privacy concerns.

Opt-out options are available, and the system deletes images after a minute. The technology is part of a broader trend in airport security and customer experience improvement.
