Orlando International Airport launched a 90‑day Enhanced Passenger Processing pilot with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to use biometric facial comparison for international departures, enabling simultaneous boarding via jetway cameras. Beginning Dec. 26, non‑U.S. citizens must use the system while U.S. citizens may opt out; CBP says photos are matched to government records and deleted within 12 hours and reports a 43% reduction in screening times.
