these are experts for the 9911 commission report and for cbp reported our current strategy airlines, airports and private vendors and government agencies including dhs were developing their own independent biometric -based games. in other words, exactly what the 911 commission warned against doing. an ad hoc fragmented approach. cbp is develop a plan that includes other authorities and response bullies and our mission is set beyond just the biometric entry exit mandate for foreign nationals. we's -- it had to encompass the entire travel solution and that would comport with airports, airlines and cruise lines. why? we don't have a transportation system that allows easy and segmentation of only foreign visitors on international departures and dhs efforts failed on the because they tried to create a standalone stovepipe unintegrated process and as we all know of those plans were cost prohibitive and create massive conduction and significant opposition from the airlines and travel industry. as a result, cbp developed a result that automates the manual facial recognition process that goes on today

it reminds airport private lenders they were developing their own independent biometric schemes. in other words, exactly what the 9/11 commission warned against doing, and ad hoc and fragmented approach. beyond just the biometric entry for foreign naturals -- nationals. we need a solution that will comport with the modernization and emerging biometric plans. we don't have a transportation system. previous dhs efforts failed for 10 years because they tried to create a standalone unintegrated process. those plans were cost prohibitive created massive congestion, and there was significant opposition. cdp developed a service that automated to the manual facial recognition process. traveling to the u.s. government for the purposes of international travel. this is not a surveillance program. since airlines and cruise lines and a small gallery of photos for the expected travelers. these are from passports, visas, and arrivals. a photo was taken and quickly searched, thereby validating the biographic data that has been vetted for national security and law enforcement concerns. we do not run the photo taken at the airport against any ot

commission report. when people travel internationally they move through channels or portals and it may seem to acquire a passport and it may be to apply for a visa or exit controls at airports and seaports. upon arrival because through inspection points. they may transit to another gate to get on an airplane. each of these is a screening. the chance to establish people are who they say they are in seeking access for the stated purpose. the job of protection is shared among the many t many defined checkpoints. by taking advantage of them all, we need not depend on anyone in the system to do the whole job. the challenge is to see the common problem across agencies and functions and to develop a conceptual framework and architecture for the effective screening system. throughout the government an ann the private enterprise, agencies, programs report that judgments securities and civil liberties and these problems should be addressed systemically, not in and at half the recommended way. the excerpts from the 9/11 commission report. before cbp present a different strategy, the airlines private vendors and agencies including dhs were developing their own independent biometric-bas
