As facial recognition technology use generates intense scrutiny, a new system unveiled at Washington’s Dulles airport is being touted as a “user friendly” way to help ease congestion for air travelers.

Officials at Dulles unveiled two new face recognition systems Thursday, one to meet legal requirements for bio metric entry-exit records, and a second to help speed processing of travelers arriving on international flights by matching their real-time images with stored photos.
