Last week I had to wait behind half a dozen people who hadn't been bothered to use the kiosk before joining the queue and who then couldn;t look into a camera or manage to put their fingers on the reader. And that was after waiting for 15 in the main queue before the sub queues broke out.
But how would that work. The kiosks are to register and then the eGates / the border officer need to confirm you are who you are at the point of entry. Hence the photo and / or fingerprint which everyone would need to do.
This really is a mess. Surely there’s a website somewhere that details what the end state will look like? Nobody seems to know!
Meanwhile, many countries- including the UK, process people in seconds at eGates.
