Default Immigration - telling people apart

Hello.

This is a general question I have always wondered about immigration
and how to tell people apart, not just in Canada but everywhere (this
is the only Immigration-type usenet group I could find). I know
people will jump on the "racist bandwagon" even though I am asking an
honestly puzzling question which has puzzled me for a while, but
there's no other way to ask this question.

Most caucasian & negroid people do not look the same because their
facial features are different. A lot of people with South-East Asian
eyes look alike and thus their faces look identical. With China
having a huge billion-fold population, there are bound to be many
people who look the same not to mention people from other SE Asian
countries. Furthermore, there are white people out there who have
identical twin sisters or brothers who look almost the same.

How does any countries' immigration personnel at the airport detect
that the person standing in front of them is not the person in the
picture?

How will biometric security detect things like this?

Or is there simply no way to do this and it's thrown into the "tool
hard basket"? If so, Why haven't identical twin and/or S.E.A.
terrorists inflitrated a countries' immigration?

Cheers,

Al.

Let me guess...you're Caucasian, right? To Asians, Caucasians all look
the same and Asians look different. It's all perspective.
