Taiwan Airport eGates Update

Airport e-Gates stop 32 criminals and violators from leaving Taiwan (Taiwan News)

Taiwan's airport e-gates, or automated immigration gates, have prevented 32 criminals, tax evaders and violators of passport regulations from leaving the country since their launch earlier this year. Chen Chien-cheng, deputy commander of the National Immigration Agency's Border Affairs Corps, said Tuesday that the 32 transgressors included killers, tax evaders and people using expired or stolen passports.

The gates have been in use since January 1. Technologies like these gates open up possibilities for making future air travel more enjoyable than it is today.
