Heathrow begins biometric trials
« on: December 06, 2006, 12:24:13 PM »
Passengers at Heathrow airport are being invited to sign up for a trial of the most advanced passenger screening equipment in the world.

Travellers will have the option of bypassing long queues if they have their fingerprints, face and eyes biometrically scanned.

Those trying the miSense system have the scans at the same time as their passport is scanned at check-in.

It is designed to make travelling easier, while maintaining security.

I heard about this this morning.

Creepy, but I imagine it will be the way of the future... until then I will wait in line.  ;)
