Text C. Airport Tests Passenger Eye Ids Heathrow Airport is testing a new hi-tech identity system which examines a passenger’s eye, rather than their passport as they go through immigration control. Heathrow is the first UK airport to carry out a large-scale trial of the iris recognition technology, which was unveiled at the airport last Friday.
The aim is to speed up the movement of passengers through the terminal and detect illegal immigrants. A total of 2,000 passengers who frequently fly from North America to Heathrow on Virgin and British Airways flights are taking part in the five-month trial. Each passenger will have an image of one of their eye’s iris stored on computer. Instead of showing their passport on arrival they will go into a kiosk where in seconds a camera will check that the pattern of their iris matches computer records. If so a barrier will automatically open. The trial will test the technology and gauge passenger reaction.
