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
