Do you look anything like your passport photo?

Lots of you may laugh at the question but how many really look like their passport photo?

Manchester Airport are introducing a facial scan for holders of the new biometric passports. If you pass the scan test you are then allowed to proceed to the next gate. If you don't pass the test you will be directed to immigration officers for further interrogation.

Once the unmanned system swings into operation with success, I think some immigration officers will end up at the Job Centre.

Remind anybody of Total Recall?

This is not good!
I have used the same passport photo for my last 3 passports, and no-one noticed that I haven't aged for 30 years.
Mind it's due again in 2010 perhaps time to get another photo done!
