Conclusion
Biometric iris identification technology is in its infant stages for use by agencies like TSA but will be wide spread in just a few years. This type of technology brings a vast array of concerns ranging from legal issues, ethical issues, and security issues. There needs to be continual technological improvement in monitoring our airlines and ensuring passengers are safe with sound methods of identification systems. Terrorists and hackers alike will continue to try to damage our people and our systems. However, our technology will hopefully advance at even a faster pace. What we once saw in the old science fiction movies or James Bond movies is now almost a reality. With a blink of an eye and in seconds we can open doors, gain access and identify people. “We shouldn’t risk hundreds of lives if an iris scan can identify a threat” (Hockersmith, 2013). Iris Biometric Technology is here and upon us so let’s embrace this amazing innovation to protect us and our air travel but yet also prepare to make it accurate, timely, integrated, secure, non-intrusive and socially accepted by our populations.
