ATM Iris Recognition Coming Soon

Anonymous Cow writes "In Australia, iris technology is already being used by Qantas Airlines, Sydney Airport, foreign embassies, some banks and TAFE colleges, the Australian Protective Services, the Defence Department and the Police Integrity Commission. It is predicted that within five years every ATM in Australia will have iris recognition technology."

Demolition Man

Oh great, now when someone wants to rob me they dont just stick a pistol in my back they rip my eye out like Wesley Snipes did.

Excuse me sir, can EYE talk to you???

Re:What if i do

[Organic_Info]

If I use my card and get my pin number wrong three times the ATM shreds my card.

If my eyes are wrong will the ATM shred my eyes with a laser. What if some one steals my eyes in a "Demolition Man - Simon Phoenix" stylee and robs my bank account. That could make for a messy robbery.

I tired and talking crap...nuff said.

Re:Why is this bad?

[egoff]

I've been doing that for awhile, I've signed with Queen Victoria, Napoleon Bonaparte, Margret Thatcher, and Elvis Presley. In over two years, only one cashier has ever noticed. He stopped me on the way out the door and said "Napoleon Bonaparte?"

I said "yeah, its a nickname," and the man actually believed me.

And accepted the payment.

I'm just thinking of the cashier at the supermarket checkout counter, rolling items over and over the scanner until the machine reads the UPC.

I predict neck injuries!

I'd give $20 dollars to...

The first person at the front of a long line of folks to walk up to the ATM, do the retina scan, then cup their eye and scream out in pain until the ambulance actually appears...

ROFLMAO

god knows, if that were to happen in our little town, no one would ever use that ATM again. FOREVER! Heck, folks here are just beginning to USE an ATM
