Minority Report Style Iris Scanners In Mexico

Posted by samzenpus on from the scanning-your-way-around-town dept.

TheRealPacmanJones writes "Biometrics R&D firm Global Rainmakers Inc. (GRI) announced today that it is rolling out its iris scanning technology to create what it calls 'the most secure city in the world.' In a partnership with Leon, one of the largest cities in Mexico with a population of more than a million, GRI will fill the city with eye-scanners. The scanners will help revolutionize law enforcement not to mention marketing."

    The association of the moniker "most secure city in the world" with "Mexico City" is enough for me to judge the wisdom and intellectual capacity of the subjects of this article.
