U.S. Begins Digital Fingerprinting In Airports

Posted by timothy on from the fingers-bitte dept.

lemist writes "Cross Match has rolled out digital fingerprinting at major airports in the United States according to MSNBC. It's designed to increase border security. They appear to be using Cross Match's Verifier 300 LC. Note that the actual capture of the fingerprint requires no interaction with the device. It determines when the image quality is excellent and grabs it."

    Why not just preventing everyone from entering your borders? That way you are sure no one will bother you anymore.
