US ‘signs deal to receive UK police biometrics,’ pressures EU countries to follow suit
The UK government has agreed to share records from its police biometrics database with U.S. border guards as part of a new scheme to push all 40 countries whose citizens can currently enter the U.S without a visa to share more records to inform decision-making for entry by 2026.
EU countries are the next targets for the U.S., in a move a Member of the European Parliament describes as “blackmail.” The scheme is being welcomed by some in the U.S. for its promise of enhanced security.

Demo Video: Border security and passenger flow facilitation: reviewing the successful integration of IDEMIA’s solutions in 2021
- In 2020, Covid-19 became a global issue. In 2021, everyone witnessed a gradual recovery to normality. Do you think the pandemic has accelerated the implementation of innovative solutions at airports?
- Biometric checks, particularly face verification, are a secure method of checking a person’s identity. Is this method currently used at many airports?
- In order to comply with the new European Entry/Exit regulations, many Member States issued a call for tender this year. What was IDEMIA’s role in this major European program?
- What are the major trends that will continue in 2022?

Israel Is Using a Vast Network of Biometric Cameras to Terrorize Palestinians - Truthout – June 2023
#Israel #Palestine #Apartheid #Technology #FacialRecognition #surveillance #AI #Biometrics
The facial recognition surveillance system violates Palestinians’ human rights to freedom of movement and privacy.
Israel is deepening its system of apartheid in the occupied Palestinian territories by using artificial intelligence-powered biometric facial recognition technology to track and restrict the movements of Palestinian people.
Facial recognition technology identifies and categorizes people on the basis of their physical features, including race, ethnicity, gender, age and disability status
