The US House of Representative has passed legislation that will speed the installation of biometric identification systems for airport workers.
The biometrics bill will require the Transportation Security Administration to conduct a detailed study in consultation with industry and an aviation and airport security working group.
AAAE and a number of airports are working together through the Biometric Airport Security Identification Consortium to move forward with biometrics in a way that meets security objectives and protects the investments airports have made with badging and access control systems.
