Airlines lobby for system to speed airport security Biometrics uses scans of iris and fingerprints
By Carly WeeksOTTAWA — A coalition of Canadian airlines and airports is putting pressure on Transport Minister Lawrence Cannon to adopt a biometric travel screening program that would allow passengers to “fast track” through airport security and avoid hassles like taking off their shoes, coats and removing laptops from their cases before boarding planes. The voluntary program, which is currently in place at several major U.S. airports, relies on iris and fingerprint scans to identify passengers and quickly move them through airport security. The biometric screening system is seen as a way to significantly reduce line-ups and other delays that have become a major hassle for passengers, particularly those who travel frequently, according to the coalition, which includes Air Canada, WestJet, as well as the Toronto, Montreal and Edmonton airport authorities. “It’s just another service to passengers,” said Scott Armstrong, spokesman for the Greater Toronto Airports Authority. “Obviously, people are always looking for ways to make the whole airport process quicker.” Although some Canadian airports have expressed interest in the biometric screening, the federal government has to approve such a program before it can be up and running in Canada. That’s because Transport Canada would have to conduct the background checks on interested applicants, and Canadian Air Transport Security Authority employees would likely be responsible for helping passengers with biometric cards at the airport.
When passengers are approved for the program, they receive a card that comes equipped with a microchip containing their biometric data that they must bring to the airport and scan on a machine, similar to a bank machine. Passengers with biometric cards would be able to wait in separate lines that have specialized security equipment, enabling them to pass through security checkpoints quickly and easily.
Adopting such a system, also known as a registered traveller program, “would enhance aviation security while improving the passengers’ experience in the airport,” says a letter sent to Cannon’s office last month by the group of Canadian airlines and airports.
The group argues the federal government wouldn’t have to spend any money on the screening program, because it would be paid for by the private sector. Furthermore, any Canadians that wanted to use a biometric screening card would have to pay for the service.
There is currently one company, called Clear, which operates the biometric screening program for about 45,000 passengers in the U.S. Although the GTAA has already signed an agreement with Clear for a similar program here, nothing can move forward until the federal government decides whether or not to approve it.
A spokeswoman for Cannon’s office as well as CATSA said the federal government is currently reviewing the program to see if it can be implemented here.

If the Allentown Art Festival is in your plans this weekend, pack an umbrella. And if you don’t want to get rained on at all, go Saturday and go early. There’s already a chance of showers and thunderstorms Saturday morning, the National Weather Service tells us, but downpours are much more likely in the mid- to late afternoon.

What’s a good photography magazine?

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 13:26:37 +0000

I want one that offers lots of tips for a beginning photographer, and that is really helpful, but also one that inpires by showing lots of other photos. I don’t really care for equipment reviews.
I’m looking into american photo or popular photography, but I’m open to others.

What’s the best piece of equipment in your bag? Worst?

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 01:20:46 +0000

I’m looking for make and model etc – there’s no good sites about equipment reviews, so I’m wondering what consumers have to say. And also, my slant is towards goalie equipment as that’s my position. My best piece, Brian’s DX3 leg pads – worst, Ollie mask – started falling apart as soon as I took it out of the box. It was cheap though – got what I paid for.
