Currently, Biometric Exit is being used on an Atlanta to Tokyo flight, but the report noted that it could be coming to more airports as soon as this summer.
However, last June a US Senator said that fingerprint is the only biometric that is needed to track visitors entering and exiting the country, suggesting there is no need to build an entire new system for the process.
If there is no match in the system for the person's photo, it might mean they are attempting to enter the country illegally. One billion dollars was allotted to the program in 2015. There must be a report on biometric exit every 100 days until it is implemented, and every 180 days after it is operational, states the Trump executive order. That refers to the 9-11 commission, which closed in 2004, and wrote in its final report that biometric identifiers could help single out members of al Qaeda who had been trained to evade detection with doctored entry-exit stamps on their visas.

Active LED lighting would also be incorporated into the wheels and moving aerodynamic parts such as the car's active wings. A transparent, covered cockpit is created to be both safe and allow spectators to see the driver at work.
Biometric Exit would compare photographs taken of passengers as they prepare to board to a photo database of visa holders.
The US Department of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will be at the heart of numerous anticipated changes, and is using advanced technology, such as biometrics, to confirm identity, further facilitate and secure travel, and meet the demands of increased travel to the United States. Customs and Border Protection will use this system to find which visa holders are overstaying the time specified on their visas.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Larry Panetta, Director of Air Exit Implementation in the Office of Field Operations, spoke about adoption of facial recognition technology at the Border Security Expo, reported the International Business Times. Whether or not the technology and corresponding training necessary for the mass deployment of it is questionable. If shared with those entities, it could broaden the potential privacy concerns that the Biometric Exit program has to begin with. Critics on the other hand are anxious about potential bias in the algorithm that could create a higher probability of false positives for African Americans and women.
