Comments on Minority Report Iris Scanners Ordered By US Army
Mr. Anderton! A new future awaits you, thanks to the new iris scanning technology that will let the military take your iris scan anytime, without your knowledge. (Read
the complete story)
"It looks like this is really hot. The linked press release has disappeared down a memory hole.
These things will be all over.
With the wrong government in power we will create hell on earth. "

"Thanks for letting me know; I redid the link, going directly to the company site.
It turns out that they have a version of the Iris on the Move device that works even if you are in a car:
"Sarnoff’s Iris on the Move™ (IOM) Drive-Through System is a
groundbreaking biometric identification technology that captures
the driver’s iris image. This powerful, accurate and reliable technology
builds on IOM’s ability to identify the vehicle’s operator, and brings
an added measure of security for high-traffic areas requiring accurate
identification. Using Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) technology to capture iris
images at various heights, the Drive-Through system eliminates
the need for individuals to exit their vehicles—maintaining high throughput
while keeping both operators and users out of harm’s way.""
