D.C. Airport Catches First Illegal Alien Using Facial Recognition Scanning
A Congolese national attempting to pose as a Frenchmen to enter the U.S. illegally had his plan foiled when a D.C. airport’s facial recognition scanner confirmed the man’s identity did not match his passport, officials said.
The instance marked the first time a facial biometric scanner was used at an airport to assist federal officials in spotting a fraud, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials announced Thursday.
The 26-year-old illegal alien had arrived at Washington Dulles International Airport from Sao Paulo, Brazil, and handed over a French passport to CBP officers.
But when CBP officers deployed the biometric facial scanning technology, they found the Congolese national’s identity did not match his French passport.
Officials say the man became nervous when agents asked him to undergo a secondary screening.
When officials searched the man, they found a card inside his shoe identifying him as a citizen of the Republic of Congo. Officials say the man’s identity is being withheld while authorities investigate further.
The biometric scanner program began August 20 at Dulles International and had been in operation for three days when the scanner noticed the impostor. Casey Durst, CBP’s Director of the Baltimore Field Office, said in a statement:
They are criminals. So yeah, they are.
Blah blah blah . That one is getting old huff.That's a very simplistic way of looking at good vs. bad. We're all criminals.

But they're still ILLEGALS numbnutsGot a link?
I'm finding that Texas had 18,000 sexual assaults in 2011, so that would be 126,000 since 2011...that would mean barely 6% are committed by illegals (who make up 10% of the population).
