Lufthansa Airline Tests Biometric Tickets
The German airline Lufthansa has started testing tickets encoded with passengers' thumbprint data in hopes of speeding up check-ins without compromising security. The 14-day trial started Monday with Lufthansa employees trying out the system. If all goes well, the airline wants to roll it out in 2006.
