Canadians entering the United States by car will now face mandatory facial recognition scans under expanded U.S. border security measures. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has confirmed that real-time biometric verification—including photographing travelers and matching images with passport or visa records—is being rolled out at land border crossings. Previously used at airports, this biometric screening technology aims to enhance identity verification and combat fraudulent entries. However, privacy experts are raising alarms over potential data privacy risks, lack of transparency, and government oversight.
