A biometric facial comparison system flagged a traveler using a fake passport — less than three days after the system was installed. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained a traveler earlier this week after the facial recognition system brought up an ID that didn’t match the man’s passport at the Washington Dulles International Airport.

才安装不到三天，生物面部特征比较系统就锁定了一名用假护照的旅客。本周早些时候，在华盛顿杜勒斯国际机场，美国海关边防局扣留了一名旅客，生物识别系统认出他的面部特征与ID不符。

On Wednesday, the 26-year-old male was detained during the CBP’s primary inspections after arriving on a flight from Sao Paulo, Brazil. The new biometric system, which is in early testing in 14 international U.S. airports, matched the man’s face to an identity different from the passport he presented. During further examination, CBP officers found the actual ID from the Republic of Congo in his shoe.

周三，美国海关边防局正在执行主要检查，一名26岁从巴西圣保罗起飞的男子被扣押。这个新型生物识别系统在14个美国机场测试过，比对面部和对应的护照的相应特征。在进一步的检查中，美国海关边防局从他的鞋子里找到了刚果共和国的真正护照。

The traveler is the first caught by the new biometrics system, which uses facial recognition to speed up the process of moving travelers through customs while also aiding the CBP. The biometrics system has only been operating at that airport since August 20 and is used for both entry and exit for international flights. CBP says that the biometrics system is faster and more efficient while also increasing security.

这名旅客第一次被生物识别系统抓住，该系统加快了识别通过海关旅客的速度，这帮助了美国海关边防局。生物识别系统自8月20日仅在该国际机场出入境口投入使用。美国海关边防局称，这套生物识别系统更加快速高效，同时提高了安全性。



CBP has not released the identity of the traveler using the fake passport and is continuing to investigate the incident. The border agency also says that the program limits personally identifiable information under privacy considerations while also using security safeguards.

美国海关边防局没有公布使用假护照旅客的身份，并正在持续调查此事。边境管理局也称，基于隐私保护和安全保障的考虑，该计划限制了个人信息发布。
