New possible airport security reads your eyes
Think airport security sucks? You’re probably in the majority. A new walkthrough iris-recognition gate could be a potential answer, though. It’s a new product from Panasonic that doesn’t even require you to focus on a particular object. You just have to walk through it slowly enough. If you do, it can read your eyes in about 2 seconds. Pretty slick. The best part? It has a really low failure rate (1/1,200,000), and can even detect if eyes belong to a live or dead person. Make the jump for all the fancy details.

Very cool, hope it wont cost too much.
cool, make me feel like we are getting closer to the airport security of the movies.
Awesome Minority Report here we come. This will be great.
What’s the use in being able to recognize if the eyes belong to a dead person?
I assume it’s a security feature?
Wouldn’t it be obvious if somebody were wearing a dead person’s eyes? Wouldn’t they be decomposing? And it would be difficult for that person wearing a dead person’s eyes to see? A security guard would be able to see such a person stumbling through the metal detector. Or maybe they are trying to catch blind people who are wearing dead people’s eyes? Sounds like a super system to catch those blind criminals as well!
Oh, it’s more for personal identification than actual airport security…
I was thinking…they can read eyes to tell if you’re carrying something illegal or smuggling something…? Lol.
what if you’re wearing contacts?
Now that is sick. Does it have a lie detector cause sometimes when people lie their eyes jitter around and some people not but you catch a potential smuggler that way.
