U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is beginning to see some results from its technology-driven mission to make international customs and immigration checkpoints less of a hassle but still as effective.
The drive to make travel checkpoints more streamlined has been part of President Obama’s “Year of Action", and has involved the implementation of new technology in several major airports. Two of these initiatives have been Automated Passport Control (or APC) kiosks, and Mobile Passport Control.
