The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) agency decided to introduce new passport-reading technology at the Benazir Bhutto International (BBI) Airport here, the Dawn reported.
Director FIA Immigration Inam Ghani told the paper that the technology, which will include biometric machines, will be integrated with the FIA's passport and immigration database to enable its immigration staff to detect "the most sophisticated fake passports."
That would improve the working of the FIA staff at the passport control desk at the BBI airport.
