Senators passed a bill to cut Airport queues and boost border security on Wednesday.

It will require airlines to supply lists of arriving and departing passengers.

Public Safety Minister David Burch said the information would alert authorities for people on the stop list before they arrive.

And passengers can be cleared through the Immigration arrivals hall much more quickly and efficiently.

Government is also working on a new method to speed up processing of passengers.

The electronic manifests will eliminate the requirement to collect landing cards on departure from Bermuda while the elimination of departure cards would bring Bermuda in line with countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, who receive electronic manifests and do not require travellers to complete a departure card.

It will also simplify the processing and storage of landing cards as there will only be a single card which will be collected on arrival into Bermuda.

Once the new border control system is in place there will be no requirement for Bermudians who have the stamp: "Holder is registered as Bermudian" in their passport and/or possess a "Fast Pass" card to have to complete an arrival card.

Therefore, the only document that a Bermudian will need to complete, when returning home, is a Customs card.
