Our latest technology solves all the typical issues of biometric surveillance, the TSA says.
TSA agents have been testing the new ID technology for the past two years, and now the federal agency plans to expand the program to screen travelers at 430 US airports.
Langston said the biometric ID system is at “six percent fully operational capacity,” and it will take several years to reach 100 percent.
Jeramie D. Scott, director of Project on Surveillance Oversight at EPIC, recently said that biometric ID technology is a significant mistake.
