Biometrics make headway with distance ID: "Biometric technology has taken new strides toward identification of moving people at distances of up to 10 feet, making all previous biometric technologies for establishing identity seem outmoded or in need of upgrading.
Sarnoff Corporation, the company behind the innovative technology, said the award-winning 'Iris on the Move' system had demonstrated that it was capable of verifying the identity of up to 30 people per minute.
Analysts said the new system would make significant changes in the way biometric identification machines operated at airports and security checkpoints."
