The kick backs though were a great success story no doubt. It's a German company working in the field since 1995. They seem to know what they are doing: https://www.dermalog.com/ Border control in Singapore among many others. I don't believe the Singaporeans are stupid enough to buy toy stuff.

Fly in. I/O scans PP. Asked if you're still at the same address (written on the arrival card). Yes. Same phone number? Yes. Stamp. You're done. Then make a beeline to Dirty Ole Sailor's...

Its Biometric! It will detect the person not the passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadbury Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 7 hours ago, webfact said: Thais spending 2.1 BILLION baht on biometrics A miserable 2.1 billion baht to keep out the little bad people. The real big bad people are already here cunningly disguised as politicians, corrupt civil servants and military generals. Things should be kept in context. Thai Airways loses 200 billion a year and the State Railways of Thailand loses 100 billion. So 2.1 billion is peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who in his right mind will want to give his Biometrics to a military regime? I have a UK Biometric passport. USA and UK airports are using FR which cuts out check in and passport being shown. It's nothing to fo with bad guys but it does decrease wait time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flew out of DMK this afternoon. One immigration line was trying out the biometric fingerprinting. Most people in line , including me, moved to the adjacent line as the biometric line was impossibly slow . Probably to be expected until they get fully trained .
