Iris scans are the next big thing for FBI

Iris scans will be the next big thing for the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation as it plans to test its database by 2014.  FBI will pilot test iris recognition at correction facilities, to promptly catch repeat offenders and suspects.  The iris pilot is part of the FBI’s next-generation identification (NGI) system, a $1 billion multi-year program, targeted for completion in the 2013 budget year. Correction facilities are targeted because the capability is in place. BI2 Technologies, a private company,
