I do not totally understand the purpose of eye scanning. If it'll get me through immigration in a few seconds.....Great. If not, I do not care for it. I will however say that it is a much much better solution than "national ID cards".</font>
Pax at AMS can now skip customs using an eye scan. Only Euro residents can use the system. The eye data is NOT centrally stored but is all on a secure chip card carried by the user.
