The customs and Border Protection agencies use of facial Recognition Technology was the focus of a House Homeland Security subcommittee hearing. Topics include benefits as well as concerns about data security, misidentification and privacy rights. This is just over an hour. Subcommittee on Board Security facilitation and operations will come to order. Thank you for joining todays hearing to assess u. S. Customs and borderng protection use of facial Recognition Technology. Cbp tested several types of Biometric Technologies including handheld fingerprint scanning devices and iris scanning, before deciding to pursue facial Recognition Technology as its biometricbe capability.

It is not yet available today, mr. Chairman, we do have industry and government involvement on developing those standards. Because we have to develop a standard in order to implement that technology into the network. Well, if you could have heard all of the hearings that we have had, and just to complicate matters, a lot of them dont originate in this country. They are from a foreign country, and that means youve got to work with another government in order to get them to cooperate to go after the guys. So that makes it doubly difficult and longer and longer and, therefore, the development of technology that will help someone identify a number of them who gets spoofed, that would be extremely helpful in the protection of senior citizens, indeed, protection of customers.

Governor phil murphy announced that hospitalizations are down from nearly a thousand from this time last week. That is a good sign. He will be joining us later this hour. The Trump Campaign is lashing out against Republican Senate candidates. A memo issued by the nrsc last week told republicans not to defend the president s response to covid19 completely, simply defend his china ban stand and then to attack china in general. Well, the Trump Campaign wasnt happy seeing that memo go public and they say any candidate who follows those guidelines should not expect any support from the president and the nrsc apparently has agreed that, yes, the president s campaign is right about that. Governor Charlie Baker has extended his stayathome order for the state of massachusetts until may 18th. I should say, the commonwealth of massachusetts. The order was set to expire next monday.
