Good point on the lack of passport check though.
Flying UA IAD is the only airport I've encountered it and it didn't work that well. GA reverted to scanning BPs. Flying DL I've encountered it at ATL and DTW with the same results as UA. I first encountered facial recognition 4 years ago in MCO flying LH and it worked great.
