OK, here’s another “KYx” acronym courtesy Facephi…Know Your Passenger.
And this is a critical one, and has been critical since…well, about September 11, 2001.
I saw Steve Craig’s reshare of the Facephi press release, which includes the following:
Currently, passengers must verify their identity at multiple checkpoints throughout a single journey, leading to delays and increased congestion at airports. To address this challenge, Facephi has developed technology that enables identity validation before arriving at the airport, reducing wait times and ensuring a seamless and secure travel experience. This innovation has already been successfully tested in collaboration with IATA through a proof of concept conducted last November.
The idea of creating an ecosystem in which identity is known throughout the entire passenger journey is not new to Facephi, of course. I remember that Safran developed a similar concept in the 2010s before it sold off Morpho, MorphoTrust, MorphoTrak, and Morpho Detection. And I’ve previously discussed the SITA-IDEMIA-Indico “Digital Travel Ecosystem.”
But however it’s accomplished, seamless travel benefits everyone…except the terrorists.
