They submit the data to the CBP database and get a result back. It will help to validate exit reporting and ensure that the right people are being reported as leaving the country on their I-94s

Yes I suspect this, but the consumer has no way of verifying this. Similarly it also means that the airlines have access to a Face Oracle and can build their own database with confidence based on that result.

Neither of which are good.
