except it is nothing to do with eID or facial scanning
it's improved resolution of baggage scanners
How will the new technology work?
New generation CT scanners are able to produce high quality 3D scans of bags belonging to passengers from every angle. At present, airports use older machines which can only give lower resolution 2D images.
Facial scanning is not mentioned anywhere. Do you just pluck this shit out of thin air to make it sound like you did some research and found things that meet your agenda?
The airports are privately owned, of course. For instance Heathrow is owned by Heathrow Airport Holdings Limited. Which is, in turn, owned by FGP Topco Limited, a consortium owned and led by the infrastructure specialist Ferrovial S.A. (25.00%), Qatar Investment Authority (20.00%), Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) (12.62%), GIC Singapore (11.20%), Australian Retirement Trust (11.18%), China Investment Corporation (10.00%) and Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) (10.00%).
The secret sauce there is the word "improved" which in reality never seems to be measured or observed.
Why do people need to scan other people's bags? I know the reasons stated in publications, but since it's fairly debunkable info it leaves the most obvious reason.
what does TSA face scanning have to do with UK airports missing the deadline to upgrade baggage scanners?
You are making it up because you want your headline to be true and you know 90% of people here will not go and find the source material.
What you could have done was say facial recognition has been in use in UK airports since trials began in 2008. In 2019 it expanded from just Heathrow and Manchester and now includes Gatwick.
They always offer or promise all your freedoms back. They just never say "when".
People typically will wait two more weeks if need be ... as we've all noticed.
Gave up on flights after Covid. Keep the carrot.

The article from your crappy screenshot is informing that despite the govt. setting a june 2024 deadline in december 2022 airports are complaining about meeting the deadline.

Surveillance.

Also since 2019 it also now covers automated check-in rather than just passport control on arrival.
So you're decades behind the curve and talk like you're bringing revelations.
