dragonfly94 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 what do these things really do? I thought they were iris scanners but the pics of people shown on TV they just look like ordinary photos and how long do they have to keep the images for? if forever thats millions already. Do they share images from DM and SVP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonthai Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 each time you enter your current picture is compared to the previous one - if they don't match than somebody is travelling on your passport. interpol used airport pics to find a pedophile a month ago - so other agencies, like anti-terrorist, anti-drug can as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of uses, not least making sure the person departing is the one that arrived on that passport. Or if a terrorist is believed to have arrived on a stolen passport, they can use the photo to see who he's travelling as and how he currently looks etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
