Re:Kudos - The System Works Well... but who cares? (Score 1)

Good points. The social impact is negligable. The school is using a different ID system, plain and simple. I'll admit a drivers license is still a good form of ID. What is the difference between looking at an ID and a picture of an Eye? Why would you fight this? Its the administrations job to make the decisions regarding safety and security policy. If parents feel the system makes their kids safer it is simply a side benefit. Lets face it - if someone is willing enough to snatch up your kid they are going to succeed. I'll agree on the monetary side of things. The cash should be spent on school books, supplies, and teachers salaries, but its a government grant. Seeing Iris technology in action is exciting. Biometrics are inevitable in the near future. I would love it if I didnt have to carry ID! Scan me please! Our timeclock / door access in our company is all biometric. Now I dont need timecards or swipecards for employees. There are many ways to look at it. I am all for technology!
