  U.S. Class: 382/115
Abstract:  A conveyance boarding pass includes a human-cognizable image of a passenger as well as the travel itinerary details. The human-cognizable image is collected using a device capable of generating an electronic image at a time when the identification of the passenger is verified. Upon presenting the boarding pass the identity of the bearer is checked against the human-cognizable image on the boarding pass to maintain the security of the transport system. The electronic image optionally is stored in a computer database in combination with the travel itinerary details for further security and other uses.
