NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – American air travelers will be treated to a new customs process at Nashville International Airport (BNA), beginning this week.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) unveiled its Enhanced Passenger Processing (EPP), which involves using auto capture technology to photograph travelers before they reach a CBP officer.

The technology provides a complete customs assessment, including “biometric confirmation and eligibility,” allowing officers to focus on higher-risk travelers.

Here are instructions on how to watch WSMV4 live on various platforms.

“CBP is committed to enhancing national security while streamlining lawful travel,” said CBP New Orleans Director of Field Operations Steven Stavinoha, who oversees operations at BNA. “Americans entering the United States at Nashville International Airport will have a more efficient and pleasant experience with these enhancements.”

The new screening process will be touchless, but customs officers will still be present to assist travelers with the new system.

Travelers can opt out of the new screening process by alerting an officer, and then they will have to go through the regular entry process.
