Australia`s intelligent customs clearance system has been convenient enough, sweep the passport, swipe the face, you can go through the customs. Below:
However, the Australian Immigration Service is not satisfied. It is now inviting tenders for a self-processing customs clearance system for face and fingerprint identification. That is, friends who come to Australia or leave Australia do not need passports or paper cards to prove that they will only scan their faces and brush their hands. We can get through the customs quickly!
The Immigration Service has introduced the self-processing system for iris / face and fingerprint recognition, known as the world`s number one, with the goal that by 2020, more than 90% of passengers will be able to self-help without manual assistance. But once the new system is online, all passport scanners in the new intelligent customs clearance system will have to retire. Is it really good that you use taxpayers` money like that?
In the long run, the paperless automatic identification system will help customs screen for potential threats and improve border security, according to immigration. At the same time, reducing the passenger clearance time is also conducive to the development of tourism. The program, which starts in 2015, has an overall budget of 100 million Australian dollars over five years, which is, of course, a small goal. Upgrading the system alone is expected to cost A $78 million.
However, according to John Coyne, head of border security at (Australian Strategic Policy Institute), Australia`s Strategic Policy Bureau, goverment wants to create a corridor that automatically collects and identifies human information, rather than a single door. So long as visitors pass through the corridor, information recognition can be accomplished and customs clearance can be achieved without pausing! However, this is just a requirement for goverment, and whether it can be implemented is not yet known, and the goverment division is still waiting for bidders to come up with a more innovative solution.
If all goes well, goverment hopes to start running at Canberra Airport in July, then at Sydney and Melbourne airports in November, covering Australia by March 2019. However, the Australian work efficiency, small Wei really is not optimistic ah. Hopefully, in the end, goverment won`t be hit in the face by himself.
