Revolutionizing Airport Security: Iris Scanning for Quick and Efficient Passport Checks

The video discusses a new iris scanning technology being trialed at airports to streamline passport checks. This method is more efficient and cost-effective than traditional fingerprint or hand configuration checks. While airport officials are optimistic about its foolproof nature, passenger feedback has been mixed. The process involves scanning the iris into a system, allowing passengers to receive a pass instantly at immigration points, potentially eliminating conventional passport queues. The trial involves 2000 passengers over six months.
