I concur. What is needed is a universal standard, to ensure that systems are compatible. If every country or airport devises its own system, frequent flyers will end up filling their wallets with an exotic collection of cards, and having to pay annual membership fees for all of them.

Thanks for that Johan, sadly it looks like the UK system will be storing the iris scan on THEIR database, unlike Privium where the scan is encrypted and stored on the smartcard, that was one of the first requirements for the system to be introduced... It's a shame the UK can't just pop over to Holland and use their expertise...
