Is it just a sophisticated photo-ID, or is it a Universal Biometric Card?

*     Sandia has combined its exclusive DataGlyphs portable database software
*   and secure card printing technologies with Fingerscan's three
*   dimensional fingerprint imaging capabilities to provide a complete
*   secure card solution using biometric data.
*
*   The innovations of this technology can benefit banking and financial
*   institutions, national welfare, benefits and immigration programs. In
*   recent contracts, technology from Fingerscan has replaced traditional
*   password systems at the White House and at the U.S. Strategic Air Command.
*   
*      Fingerscan, an Identix company, provides biometric identification in
*   the form of a three dimensional scan of a fingerprint, captured when a
*   finger is held against a Fingerscan device, a self-contained terminal
*   that stores finger records, keeps a log of transactions and interacts
*   with other devices.
*
*   The terminal works by mapping, recording and storing data contained in
*   a 3-D scan of various dimensions of the entire finger - including skin
*   patterns and reflections and blood flow - for subsequent comparison.

Oh my gawd, a Universal Biometric Card!

What losers are getting one?

*       Sandia and Coms21, currently engaged in an agreement to support the

*   program, have partnered to create a fraud-proof solu
