    The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is re-opening the comment period for a proposed rule about collecting biometric data, such as facial images, from non-U.S. citizens entering and leaving the United States. This extension allows people to give feedback for an extra 30 days until March 12, 2021. The rule aims to improve how the CBP verifies identities using biometric technology, like facial recognition, for better accuracy and security. U.S. citizens can choose not to participate in this biometric verification process.

    Simple Explanation

    The CBP wants to take pictures and other special details from people who are not from the U.S. when they come in and out of the country to make sure they know who they really are. They are asking people to share their thoughts on this idea until March 12, 2021.
