Biometric boarding and CBP Enhanced Passenger Processing at Los Angeles International
Current reported state
Deployed · limited scope
Los Angeles World Airports, US Customs and Border Protection, British Airways and Vision-Box began piloting biometric e-gate boarding at the Tom Bradley International Terminal in January 2018. LAWA said in its release of 18 January 2018 that LAX was the first location in the US to pilot paperless biometric boarding.
Arrivals have followed. CBP said on 14 August 2025 that Enhanced Passenger Processing, introduced in June, was fully operational at Tom Bradley and Terminal 7 by August, and it reports a 25% cut in wait times nationally.
BigBear.ai says its veriScan system supports the process at both terminals.
For scale, Tom Bradley handled about 10.4 million passengers in 2024, Airport Industry News reported on 18 August 2025.
