Customs goes high-tech to check eyes and faces
A high-tech camera that can spot faces in a crowd is being used by Customs staff at Wellington Airport as part of a trial to increase security.
The camera is linked to a computer which recognises people from facial characteristics, and is part of a system becoming widely used to secretly screen for terrorists.
Customs is also testing a machine that scans the irises in a passenger's eyes to produce a type of human barcode.
