That photo will establish positive identification to gain entrance into the school..The Teacher-Parent Authorization Security System (T-PASS), a software application developed by Eyemetric Identity Systems, was installed on the front office computers at each of the three schools."

Reminds me of an old joke:

Michael Jackson, Willie Nelson, Pat Boone and the Vienna Boys choir are on an airplane heading towards a relief concert. The plane develops engine trouble and is going to crash. Fortunately there are parachutes on board but only three of them. The pilots suggest they take the chutes and jump but Pat Boone asks- "What about the children?" Willie Nelson says "Fuck the children!" and Michael Jackson says "Do you think we have time?"
