 A new facial screening technology is to be piloted in airports across the UK in a bid to reduce waiting times for those taking flights to Spain and other countries.
Passengers will be screened with facial recognition technology instead of the usual passport officer checks in a move that is hoped will both improve security and ease congestion.
The scheme will be phased in from this summer and will utilise unmanned clearance gates which scan and match passengers' faces to the record on computer chips in their biometric passports.
Home Office Minister Liam Byrne said: "Britain's border security is now among the toughest in the world and tougher checks do take time, but we don't want long waits.

Holidays in Spain 'are accessible and affordable' |
24th April 2008 |
|
|
|
 Spanish holidays are both affordable and accessible, one commentator has noted, summing up the reasons why the attraction of Spain remains "undeniable".
According to Easier, Spain has built up a network of airports throughout the country, due to its popularity for holidays which dates back to the 1960s, which provides accessibility.
The open skies agreement agreed by Spanish authorities and maintenance of key infrastructure such as roads is also beneficial.
"What this means is that Spain is one of the most accessible countries in Europe, and thanks to a continuation of money flowing into maintaining this situation, airports such as Malaga and Murcia are receiving significant upgrades," the publication notes.
