...The only special thing you have to do on an AC kiosk when flying transborder is select the travel document's country, the travel document's type, and key in the travel document's number (via an on-screen keyboard). Personally, I would rather have them install a passport reader on the kiosks, but I won't complain about keying it in if that's the only way to do it. [...]

My second proposal involves installing a few international kiosks at airports in the USA. These kiosks could be dual purpose international/domestic kiosks. These kiosks could have a passport reader on them, but it's not required.

I was at RDU the other day picking someone up and happened to look closer at one of the kiosk machines there. I don't ever remember seeing this when I used it, but it looked like there was a passport reader under the credit card slot. If there was and that's active, maybe this is the next step.
