Will Trump’s biometric entry-exit system be as controversial as his travel ban?

Thehill-logo-bigNolan Rappaport on The Hill reports on the Trump administration’s development of biometric entry-exit system to verify travelers at ports of entry.   He wonders “what the reaction is going to be to Trump’s biometric entry-exit system. Unlike the travel ban, which just applied to aliens seeking admission to the United States, Trump’s biometric entry-exit tracking system will apply also to American citizens. The facial recognition technology that the system uses to identify travelers leaving the country will be used to identify American citizens too, unless they request an alternative means of verifying their identities.”
