Delta kiosk checks your face before you check your bag

Written by Teunis Felter

Delta is testing a face-scanning kiosk for baggage check. The machine allows passengers to bypass check-in agents. It uses facial recognition technology to match your identity to your passport photo. You tag your own bags, pay the fee and drop your luggage on a conveyor belt. Passengers without passports can still check their own bags, but they need a Delta agent to confirm their identities. Delta will test four of the machines at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport this summer. The airline spent $600,000 on the four kiosks.
