Biometrics R&D firm Global Rainmakers Inc. (GRI) announced today that it is rolling out its iris scanning technology to create what it calls "the most secure city in the world." In a partnership with Leon -- one of the largest cities in Mexico, with a population of more than a million -- GRI will fill the city with eye-scanners. That will help law enforcement revolutionize the way we live -- not to mention marketers.

"In the future, whether it's entering your home, opening your car, entering your workspace, getting a pharmacy prescription refilled, or having your medical records pulled up, everything will come off that unique key that is your iris," says Jeff Carter, CDO of Global Rainmakers. Before coming to GRI, Carter headed a think tank partnership between Bank of America, Harvard, and MIT. "Every person, place, and thing on this planet will be connected [to the iris system] within the next 10 years," he says.

What's the difference between this and biometric fingerprinting? As far as security is concerned, they provide the same result, right?

next thing, we'll all have chips in us to track where we're going...

If you read fris instead of iris, you need to get your eyesight checked.

P.S.
I like gray colors.

So what's going to stop some lunatic drug addict from cutting out your eyes and holding them up to the scanner?

I'd rather he just stole my keys.

Horrible technology. Every move will be recorded. When you walk on the streets someone can see your name move as a dot on a map. No more freedoms.

Actually this already happens since most people carry a cellphone.
Then there is also automatic scanning of license plates on highways. Facial recognition systems in airports, so the surveillance cameras know exactly where each traveler is etc. Facebook and Google accounts. And of course all use of credit cards and net banking.

Whoever combines the data from all these systems will have a very strong tool to control their population.
