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."

    And no attack happened, though many flights were cancelled and some people were questioned (I'm not sure if anyone was formally arrested anywhere).

    Considering that a french flight was cancelled because a passenger was a suspected terrorist, and after interregotation it turned out to be a baby, no, no one was arrested.

    These are the people in charge of your security. Feel safe, citizen?
