Post

Just boarded my flight back to YYZ from SLC and experienced a brand new boarding procedure. I was not asked to present my passport nor my boarding pass. Instead, I had my picture taken, I was recognized by software that I am me, and allowed to board. There was no clearly communicated opt-out.

At security, the usual expectations applied: I scanned my passport, presented my boarding pass, and had a photo taken. The photo had a clearly communicated opt out procedure signed by the camera, as well as an SLA that the image would be deleted within 24 hours.
