The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is working on a program to photograph everyone who leaves the country by vehicle, a government spokesperson says.

Photographs will be taken of each individual present in vehicles departing to Canada or Mexico, and the image will be matched to passports, visas, and travel documents, CBP spokesperson Jessica Turner told WIRED magazine in a May 9 article.
