ATM Iris Recognition Coming Soon

Posted by michael on from the stare-into-the-light dept.

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."

  1. No. really. they *won't* scan me. by Frymaster · · Score: 5, Insightful
    the problem with this is that carrying your id is now mandatory. i have a driver's license. it demonstrates to the authorities that i am qualified to drive. when i am not driving i do not carry my driver's license with me and i do not show it the police when i am not accused of a driving violation. i have a social insurance number. it is only to be used for taxation purposes. i give the number to no one else for no other reason. they have no need nor right to ask for it.

    with iris recognition these two pieces of id are always on me.
