Identity Theft Check

With terrorism on the increase, airports are steadily implementing new technologies to combat new terror threats. One of the new technologies recently implemented to combat terror is face recognition cameras and software. Even though this is a fairly new technology its pretty simple in the way it works. It works by taking a still photograph of a potential suspect and then comparing the image to a national database of terror suspects, however there probably more advanced version used in airports today, as i have heard of new scanning technology that uses a laser to map a person’s facial features, so there’s less chance of scanning errors. Although this good in terms of combating terrorism, it may prove cumbersome and time consuming to passengers at terminals if people have to be individually scanned.
