    The shift from access control cards to biometrics (fingerprint or facial) is industry-wide, especially for sectors impacted by the Patriot Act. Even maritime workers are increasingly required to have their fingerprint scanned (to be compared to the print of their TWIC). I wish them the best of luck in resisting the safety tyranny.

    How much does the current system cost ?

    It’s funny that in Europe, our passports have been biometric for a long time, governments have our fingerprints, but the security at my base doesn’t use it, airport workers and Cabin Crews just have their own security gate

    (I’m a Cabin Crew based in Vienna, Austria)

      I imagine the fingerprints are optional? I wouldn’t give out my biometrics. That’s like giving out your password
