PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Some passengers at the Philadelphia International Airport will see a new security screening starting Tuesday. The airport is testing a new program to scan the faces of passengers leaving the airport on some international flights.
Only a few flights on American Airlines, British Airways, Lufthansa, and Qatar Airways are affected.

Passengers are allowed to opt out of the screening.
