Milan Watchdog Halts Facial Recognition at Linate Airport
Italy’s privacy regulator has suspended the use of a facial recognition system at Milan’s Linate Airport, underscoring the country’s strict approach to data protection.
The system, called Faceboarding, allowed adult passengers who opted in to move through security without showing an ID. However, the Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali ruled that the program lacked sufficient safeguards for travelers who chose not to use it.
