Method for verifying the identity of a passenger

摘要

A conveyance boarding pass includes a human cognizable image of a passenger as well as the travel itinerary details. The human cognizable image is collected using a device capable of generating an electronic image at a time when the identification of the passenger is verified. Upon presenting the boarding pass the identity of the bearer is checked against the human cognizable image on the boarding pass to maintain the security of the transport system. The electronic image optionally is stored in a computer database in combination with the travel itinerary details for further security and other uses.
