According to Home Secretary for the United Kingdom, Priti Patel - Great Britain is planning to bring in 'contactless' border crossings to airports from 2024 onwards.
This new technology will allow some passengers to enter the country without using an electronic passport gate, or even so much as speaking to a border force officer. Alternatively, they may be required to upload a photo of themselves and send it directly to the Home Office before travelling to the nation.
The scheme is put together in a bid to reduce queuing times at the border, in-turn helping to speed up legitimate journeys into the United Kingdom.
