Just boarded my flight back to YYZ from SLC and experienced a brand new boarding procedure. I was not asked to present my passport nor my boarding pass. Instead, I had my picture taken, I was recognized by software that I am me, and allowed to board. There was no clearly communicated opt-out.

At security, the usual expectations applied: I scanned my passport, presented my boarding pass, and had a photo taken. The photo had a clearly communicated opt out procedure signed by the camera, as well as an SLA that the image would be deleted within 24 hours.

I don't really understand this. This didn't speed up boarding at all. I've also never experienced that in any airport in the world. It feels like software is being trained to replace gate agents, and I don't like it.
