    I had assumed it was part of the E-Gate. The bit that compares your face to your passport photo.

    Theoretically the photo never needs to leave the e-gate system though. I have no idea if it does or doesn’t.

      Oh, they’ve expanded that service quite a bit since I last travelled. I had a quick google and it says any captured biometric data is destroyed after 3 months.

      But I guess it is still open to being hacked /data the data getting out there somehow

          Thiel is in NZ so this wouldn’t surprise me in the least to be honest.

          I wish our government would stop selling citizenship to these fuckwits who only want to make lives of the average person worse
