Klein hopes a comprehensive review will be ready by the end of the summer, after the board reviews biometric implementations in the DC area, engages with non-governmental organizations, privacy and civil liberties groups, technical experts and academic researchers, and holds at least one public consultation. The board also reviewed the TSA’s biometric implementation at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas last year. Delta’s biometric terminal at Hartsfield-Jackson adds check-in via a facial biometric kiosk, which validates the travellers against the TVS, and security checks with a TVS-owned tablet. NextGov reviews the background of the TVS and Biometric Exit, with mandates drawn from Congress’ response to the 9/11 Commission report. The initial data collected by Delta for its biometric boarding process suggests it reduces the time taken by two seconds per passenger, or roughly 9 minutes for a wide-body aircraft. Several people were observed opting out, but most used the biometric system for boarding, and its performance was “strikingly fast” for virtually all passengers, according to Klein, with many surprised that they did not have to show documents after the scan. The current 12-hour storage time for images of Americans could be reduced soon, Klein says.

The board will also consider how to ensure TVS will not be misused, and any potential security vulnerabilities. Board members will review CBP’s internal studies on potential bias, technical evaluation of the algorithms, and address the related question of whether the physical environment the system is operating in affects its effectiveness for different ethnicities. In addition to the effectiveness of the process for different demographics, Klein says the board will attempt to determine whether the public perceives it as fair. TSA has told the Oversight Board that its results do not show discrimination in the system, which is among its considerations. “We watched a large international flight board and I would say in general, as you would expect, people’s primary concern was just getting on the plane.” You’ve also got the partnership with TSA, where TSA is borrowing that system to use for international travelers,” Klein explains. You’ve got this airline partnership with Delta, which is very, very developed. “The advantage of Atlanta is that it combines really every significant application of the CBP system for international travelers.
