Now where would one collect the sample to authenticate data against the biometric identifier? Imagine the mobile checkpoints with hundreds of different faces passing thru them.

came across a niffy little hand held device at a spec ops show last week in DC
IP67, Mil810, US made and assembled, Military Wireless, face, finger, Iris, nice screen.

Is it just me, or does it look like the new camo on that soldier is two different colors. The body armor looks darker then the cloths. Did the Army decide to change the tones of there new camo? Anyone know?

Iraq!? Hell, we need this at airport security posts in the States. The whole idea of using a no-fly list with NAMES on it for Christs sake to identify potentially dangerous people is ludicrous.
Every face that comes close to security screen should be automatically scanned off a high resolution video camera and biometric points on the face measured and compared to a database.
Such a system should be installed at every sensitive site.

on the downside “bad guys” could profit from this technology too, it would make ethnic cleansing so much easier…

Several posters here know not whereof they speak. The big kahuna in the Biometric space is L-1 Identity Solutions (ID) and it is teamed with Northrup with an already existing ruggedized hand held biometric ‘machine’ that takes fingers, face and iris all in one. Northrup is building the data base part. These already exist in theatre in Afghanistan and Iraq. Looking at 2+ million records at this time. Suggest you go and do some DD before you spout off about how long it will take, etc.
From their recent quarterly—HIIDE is the handheld and Super HIIDE is also nearly ready for deployment.
“The annual revenue growth of 13 percent reflects growth in the U.S. passport business; facial recognition solutions; enrollment services for state, local and federal customers; multi-modal mobile biometric devices (HIIDE); and counter-terrorism services of approximately 25 percent. This growth was partially offset by delays in live scan awards, along with certain software opportunities which were booked in the 2006 fourth quarter, but will not be reflected in revenue until 2007.“
Best,
Paul

Unless their initial enrollment data is acquired in a controlled environment, the efficacy of this project is definitely questionable. Compare how soldiers are acquiring this data versus, say, the DMV; the latter will ensure that the subject leaves high quality fingerprints, iris, etc. I doubt the soldiers in the field have that luxury. The result? Your devices will be comparing crap fingerprint to crap fingerprint. Not really helpful.
