The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency runs the kiosks.

The kiosks are aimed at helping passengers expedite processing during international travel.

Passengers can use the self-service kiosk to scan their own passport and complete their declaration forms before reaching a checkpoint.

The Houston City Council is expected to vote Wednesday whether to allow them at Bush Intercontinental Airport.
