Canadians May Need Biometric ID to Enter U.S.

  • No Related Post

“Canadians may soon need new national identity cards if they want to cross the border into the U.S. The cards have been criticized by the privacy commissioner as an invasion of privacy. The new cards, which will include biometric information such as fingerprints or eye scans, are among the issues the immigration standing committee is discussing at hearings beginning Monday in Toronto.”

In this realm of transnational communication and transportation, a major issue is home land security. Every day thousands of trucks and heavy vehicles move places for business purposes carrying chemicals and hazardous material. More concerning is the fact that through such operations many illegal activities can be tried at high ways.
Biometrics now a days with hi tech research and up gradation, is providing new sensors and scanners with higher reliability. Biometrics in Government operation and public safety sector is definitely a higher technological step forward. I am a representative of an established research based biometric firm named M2SYS Technology http://www.m2sys.com/ based in Atlanta Georgia. We have provided our Fingerprint Scanner to numerous organizations like homeland security systems, jail management, truck management, Immigrations, Healthcare, government institutions etc., starting from medium to large across various countries, who are now making a very fast and reliable client/ staff and passenger or citizens record service through integrating our secured fingerprint identification system in their software. We understand the natural privacy concern associated with fingerprint software. It is important to understand that our fingerprint software does not store a physical copy of the image, and without the image nothing can be done with the stored data. There are no chances of spoofing as well. I would also add that Biometrics is not what causes possibly privacy or civil liberty concerns in society. Biometrics is simply an effective method of identifying a person.
