This is at JFK, does anyone know what they are used for? There wasn’t an obvious time when it was taking a picture.

      yep, structured images are projected, then left right cameras capture images, the device compares the differences in each image and can use that to build a rough 3d model of the face. I strongly suspect these are used to make sure people aren’t using printed images to spoof the verification - but never put it past the state to horde data and hoover up everything they can.
