The Beijing Capital International Airport will use a face recognition system starting this Sunday to stop people from pretending to be airport staff and sneaking into restricted areas.

As one of the measures to beef up security for the 60th National Day celebration, it is expected to prevent terrorists from jeopardizing the safety of the public and aircraft, Lu Haifeng, manager of aviation security department with the airport, said yesterday.

The face recognition system requires only one second to check a person by comparing selected facial features with a facial database.
