Feb 14, 2007 -- Japanese palm scan is latest ID tool
Clark has been a big fan of eye scan technology and other biometrics as a way of identifying people. Christa has always thought the idea is a little creepy and could cause people to go to extreme lengths to create new identities or cover up old ones. She refers to an incident that occurred in Malaysia several years ago, when criminals cut off a wealthy man’s finger to use his fingerprint as identification. Well, the Japanese have come up with a new kind technology that involves your palm. Customers must press their palms against a monitor and the machine reads the veins in their hands before they can get money. So, the good news for Christa is that blood has to be flowing in the body part. We’ll see how it works.
