    UK Airport Requires Iris Scans From Employees

    The Department for Transport's security team, Manchester Airport and biometric identity-management consultancy Human Recognition Systems (HRS) have launched the first iris-recognition access-control system at a UK airport. The system is able to control the movement of Manchester Airport's 25,000 staff. It incorporates single-person access-control portals combined with iris-recognition cameras, controlling the access of staff to restricted zones.
