 Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
The End is here. Scanners like this will soon be everywhere. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

WALL, N.J., Nov. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BIO-key International Inc., a leader in wireless public safety solutions and
finger-based biometric identification, today announced it was awarded a
biometric contract to replace student ID cards at Strom Thurmond High School
in Edgefield County, South Carolina.
IdentiMetrics' solution scans a student's finger for identification
and seamlessly integrates with any cafeteria application that uses
swipe cards, PINs or bar codes. The software can also be used to
identify students in other areas of the school for classroom attendance
or in the library, nurse's office or even for security access to the
front door.
"Biometric finger scanning identification was enthusiastically
embraced by the School Board, Superintendent, teachers, parents and the
community," Thompson added. "They all understood our need to correctly
identify students and realized the disruption and cost required to
administer an ID card program. Initially, there were questions
regarding privacy; however, since BIO-key's finger scanning algorithms
don't the actual fingerprint -- it uses unique identifying points --
everyone felt comfortable that the fingerprints couldn't be recreated."
Responding to a question of how the school environment changes in
the morning since using biometrics, Thompson said, "The school now
settles down within 10 minutes most mornings, a major improvement over
when we used badges. "We have also significantly reduced the number of
disciplinary actions required when students forget their badges. An
unexpected benefit was reducing the number of student suspensions!"
