US & Netherlands Agreement: Digital IDs make clearing customs easier via Imbedded Eye Image to Verify Identity

Here we go...

Thanks for posting, Phennomm!!!

embedded with an image of the traveler's eye

thats how theyre selling the lie: to make it easier to pass thru customs.

I have an ex mother in law who travels the world extensively...I wonder if she'll fall for it...

i wouldnt renew our passports nor the ezpass/turnpike when i found out they had RFID in them

Why the eye ,when a thumb print is just as effective? Because the eye reveals more than just identity.So there is a wider agenda being put in place.

Not to get off subject but there chipping clothes etc.
Seems like big bro wants to know everything.
as far as this eye pass-its not the mark--but its coming

i dunno but eye scans have been rumored for years on the net as part of this nwo plan. even on youtube.

a school in lancaster is having opposition right now over kids having to use thumb print scans re lunch accounts next year/september.

youre right i forgot about that. i think they implemented this when? 2007?

good choice in my opinion, and, that made me remember she lives in FL and uses a turnpike pass all the time, but I dont know if they have implemented that on the passes yet...

What's this??? I havent heard about it...

The iris reveals things like drug or medication use,past and present,and is the window to the soul.This is a violation.

I've got a chip on my shoulder,BTW

OMG. Soon we will be chipped.

no shit. im not partaking. i wont use air travel anymore.

Wow, thanks for that...I haven't seen any of those up here yet in Michigan...will be on the watch now...

I had my dog micro-chipped 6 years ago, was that a bad thing to do???

its by brand you wouldnt even know theyre in your cloths. right now i think theyre just used for theft. dont quote me tho as i havent read any followups on this.

yes bc they know who the owner is....you.

Damn. Good post.

shit...

No.Your dog depends on you to protect him if he is lost.Humans on the other hand,are entitled to free will /free spirit.

good luck in tryn to find a vet who will remove it too. my boy got a dog from the humane society. my spouse was with him and duh'd out when they told him. its not like they couldve refused, you dont get a dog unless its chipped. i hadda run around calling every vet to see who would remove this. one threatened to call the humane society on me. wasnt an easy feat. lotsa opposition. finally found an old italian vet and played the roman catholic card

In clothing and personal goods,yes inventory,checkout and anti-theft are legitimate uses,but items known to be in your posession can be used to track you or identify you by sinister people.

thanks bubba for the clarification.

The Eyes Have It
By Sean Henahan, Access Excellence (from 2002)

Amsterdam - Security systems that scan the iris of your eye may soon help speed you through those long lines at the airport.

Following the events of September 11th, there has been increased emphasis on improving security while minimizing inconvenience to travelers. Iris recognition systems would seem to fit the bill. Such systems are now in limited use at several airports in Europe and the United States.

These systems take advantage of random variations in the visible features the iris, the colored ring around the pupil. After a traveler has his iris scanned once, a unique file is placed in a database. Subsequently, the traveler simply looks at a suitably equipped camera that scans and checks the iris in little more than one second.

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol began using its automated border passage system in October 2001. That system combines iris recognition technology and an advanced smart card. It is the first of its kind to use iris recognition to secure border control. New enhancements to the system will extend its functions to include ticketing, check in, screening and boarding. Schiphol will also use an iris recognition system behind the scenes to provide secure access to restricted areas.

An iris recognition system is also being evaluated at London's Heathrow airport. Frequent transatlantic travelers on British Airways and Virgin now use the EyeTicket Jetstream system to speed them through passport control at the world's busiest airport. The system is similar to that in use at Schiphol. A similar system is in place in Germany's Frankfurt Airport. While the North American experience has so far been limited to the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, plans are now underway to install similar systems at JFK in New York, Dulles in Washington, DC and at 14 international airports in Canada.

Iris scanning takes advantage of random variations in the visible features the iris, the colored part of the eye. The iris consists largely of a system of muscle that expand and contract the pupil in response to changing lighting conditions. The details of each iris are phenotypically unique, that is, no two are exactly alike, not even among twins, not even in your own two eyes. The structure of the iris develops in the embryo, assuming its lifelong character by the seventh or eighth month. Some color changes can occur in the first months of life, which explains why some babies who are born with blue eyes may end up with brown or some other color.

After taking a picture of the eye, the system samples the radial and angular variations of each individual iris to form an IrisCode, a digital file that serves as a reference in database. At 512 bytes, the file is quite small, since it is a hexadecimal code reference rather than an actual iris image. Research confirms an extraordinarily high level of statistical reliability for the system.

A person using the system simply looks into a camera. The computer program then locates the iris. Next, the system locates the iris' outer and inner edges. The monochrome camera uses both visible and infrared (700-900nm) light. The program maps segments of the iris into hundreds of vectors. Position, orientation and spatial frequency provide the basis for calculation of the IrisCode. The system also manages to take into account normal changes in the eye. For example, the system compensates for papillary expansion and contraction. It can also detect reflections from the cornea.

Is there any way to fool the system? Researchers attempted to do this by creating contact lenses with irides printed on them. The system had no trouble spotting the fakes. Some of the newer drug treatments for glaucoma include changes in iris pigmentation among their side effects. This should not be a problem since iris recognition systems rely on monochrome images, the developers say.

Iris recognition technology is finding its way into many aspects of everyday life. England's Nationwide Building Society (a bank), for example, replaced PIN numbers with iris recognition at its ATM machines in 1998. The systems now form part of many building access systems in government and industry. More recently, products have become available to screen computer network users and to provide secure online transactions. Any application for which you currently use a password could soon require a quick look at your eye instead.

Identifying the Mystery Woman - image below

Iris recognition systems are also finding unexpected applications. The best know example involved using iris recognition to confirm the identification of a mysterious young Afghan woman originally photographed by Nation Geographic photographer Steve McCurry in 1984. Some 18 years later, McCurry photographed Sharbat Gula in Afghanistan. At the behest of National Geographic, Dr. John Daugman, developer of the iris recognition system, then compared the irides in the photographs using his algorithms. He concluded that the eyes were a match.

If they are going to do this globally for airports, then we have to consider that all travel will follow this like buses, trains, tolls, subways, bridges and borders. There will be no getting around it.

everything they do they have a way of twisting the reasons why.

they will use terrorism as a fear factor tool,identity theft as another, the lost/kidnapped, death, children, elderly & mentally ill.

pppl are to brain washed to see beyond the weasel words.

theyre GPS'ing houses (ref census) RealID is coming soon to a state near you. are you willing to be 'branded cattle'?

oh well... my country is known to be usa's lapdog.

if usa ask the netherland jump, the netherlands ask how high. etc.

im not sure why this is but i believe it has something to do with a huge debt we have to the usa.

which emerged after WW2 when usa "helped" lots of europian country to rebuild. (ie, lots of europian countries are still paying the debt since then).
