The US and the UK already have part of the face recognition process in place. LHR to JFK - three weeks ago. Face recognition at gate at LHR. Breezed through US border control and customs. No questions asked or finger prints taken. Passport stamped and through in 5 mins. Hundreds of others (non-UK or US) standing in lines waiting to be processed. I then travelled from ORD to LHR on Saturday. Face recognition at gate in Chicago. US pax can also use the e-gates at LHR. They don’t have to stand in a line, speak with a border control officer or wait to have passport stamped. I expect EDI will get pre-clearance.
