Re:Ask HN: Cause of UK e-gates outage?

Those stupid gates have never worked for me, and I've always suspected that they are actually just connected to a call-centre type operation. Given how fast my phone can recognise my face (in 3d no less), the e-gates are a total joke.

That's so weird, I use them regularly and have never had a problem in the UK or other countries with them.
I wonder if you're failing due to not recognising your face, or (no offence intended) that you have too high a risk profile in some way due to your passport info, and they decide they want to see you in person.
