Video: These High-Tech Kiosks Can Speed You Through Customs in Minutes

The San Francisco airport gets roughly 15,000 international travelers per day, and the customs process can often be long and drawn out. With the addition of a new self-service kiosk that eliminates the need to fill out paperwork, wait times are drastically reduced.

Travelers scan their passport, take a picture, answer questions and print out the information to take to a customs agent for a quick review. None of this information is stored on the machines.

"Filling out the form, waiting in line, handing it to an officer, having that information be reviewed -- all of that can happen now in about 90 seconds or less," said Doug Yakel, public information officer at SFO.

The kiosk will soon be rolled out to airports around the country.
