I read the misense page, and am really not sure what it offers. For example, on departure, "Check in as normal...place your finger on the scanner...proceed to airport security" - i.e. go through the security queues like normal..?

On arrival, go through the misense gate at T3 to skip the queue - just like you can with IRIS?

I'm not sure at all what this offers over IRIS for the passenger. Clearly there are some extra security measures for the airport or airline (e.g. fingerprint at aircraft boarding) but if I were IRIS-registered, why would I sign up for misense? A fingerprint might be faster, but you'll need your misense card, and I thought iris scanning was supposed to be more secure than fingerprints... Am I missing something?
