The Anonymous Widower

Airport Security

There is an article in The Times today on airport security.

Philip Baum argues that we need to profile passengers and be smarter.  I’ll give three cheers to that.

They must also get the technology right. 

I have one of these new biometric passports with a chip in it.  I’ve tried it several times at Stansted Airport to try to bypass the queues and it has never worked.  But then last time, I noticed that the picture looks like I have brown eyes, when in fact I have blue.  I pointed this out to the Immigration Officer and she said that is common and they look in detail at the face.
