Thai man's face was no match for "Biometrics"!

Naew Na and immigration once again hailed the "wonderful" biometrics technology for enabling them to arrest a lawbreaker. 

 

This time it was not a foreigner who was stopped but a Thai who underestimated the power of the 2 billion baht biometric technology. 

 

A vinyl board and deputy chief Pol Maj-Gen Chuchart Thareechat and his men at immigration yesterday explained how Arthit, 26 was arrested. 

 

Officers at the Friendship Bridge 1 between Thailand and Laos became suspicious on November 5th when a man using a Thai ID card in the name of Sanya tried to leave the country with temporary papers. 

 

Biometrics was used and the facial recognition technology identified that Sanya and the man claiming to be him didn't match.

 

The holder of the ID had to admit that Sanya was his mate. 

 

He said he was Arthit and that he had lost his own ID and used his friend's ID to get papers to cross over. 

 

He was due to meet someone near the border who had some goods for him. 

 

Naew Na called the biometrics technology wonderful in their headline.

Staggering when TM 30 would sort it out in seconds.

Must be very little happening to bother making a vinyl board and a press conference for this story.

THAIS dont do TM 30s

[Misterwhisper]

While the hospitality, tourism, agricultural, export, automotive and electronics components sectors are struggling, the vinyl board industry surely seems to enjoy an unprecedented boom. Where can I buy shares?

Last week the Biometrics costed 4 million baht; this weeks special is 2 million baht wow and catch one Thai with it, that's cost effective.

More wise guys will have unexplainable health problems that will require a surgeons mask.

Amazing. I don’t know how they do it.

They do... for foreigners staying at their place. It is their task, not our.

I'm not sure about you.
Yesterday, my wife went to the police to report that we are hosting my daughter's boyfriend;
boyfriend who is not from our province.

Reread the OP. It's 2 Billion, that's with a "B". Don't know if it was millions or billions last week...

That's because the star of the show was not lowly Arthit but Biometrics. 

 

All hail!
