MPs Trial Iris And Fingerprint Scanning At UK Passport Service

LONDON - MAY 6: A computer screen displays information after a persons fingerprint was scanned on May 6, 2004 in London, England. Members of the British Home Affairs Select Committee visited the UK Passport Service which is running a six-month trial to test the recording and verification of facial recognition, iris and fingerprint biometrics. The committee has been taking evidence on identity cards since November 2003, and recently issued a call for evidence on the government's draft legislation on ID cards.
