DHS begins biometric exit procedures at two airports

摘要

Washington - Airport security on May 28 began fingerprinting non-U.S. citizens departing at two U.S. airports as part of a Department of Homeland Security pilot program aimed to better track international visitors. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano announced in a press release that non-U.S. citizens departing the United States at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport will undergo biometrics collection (fingerprinting and photo identification) by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers so DHS can "determine faster and more accurately whether non-U.S. citizens have departed the United States on time or remained in the country illegally."
