Border security/ Automation of passport inspections

The Department of Homeland Security said Friday it will install 340 more airport kiosks to automate passport inspections -- a move the White House says will reduce wait times for international arrivals by up to 30%.

The move is part of an effort by the Obama administration to double international tourism to the United States over five years.
