Passport Scanners At The Ticket Counter
On a recent trip from SAN-LGW the BA ticket couter person scanned my passport with some sort of laser-reader. Does anyone know what this is for?
RE: Passport Scanners At The Ticket Counter
They also have it in ATL when I came back from LGW. But they didn't do it when I came back from Turks and Caicos.

THey have them in Helsinki also. THe guy had to take off my passport cover and run it throuh the machine.

Here at EWR and I'm sure at every other US international airport these "passport readers" are used at check-in for immigration purposes. Its a way for them to keep track of nationals and residents.

I remember that the US Immigration Service scanned my Passport when I arrived in SFO. But I dont know what Informations they can see on their Monitors.

All passports have 2 lines at the bottom of the name page which is the information for the reader.
My Russian Visa has those lines too, but i doubt that they have that system at all border-crossing stations...
