De afdrukken worden digitaal genomen van elke vinger één.

Wordt het dan 5x zo veilig? Mag wel hopen dat ze een nieuwe scanner in gebruik nemen. Waar de hele hand in 1x in kan.

Heb je trouwens een naam van de krant?

En dat al sinds maart kennelijk...

Ik vraag me af hoe lang het duurt eer al die gegevens verwerkt zijn, mijn inziens ben je al lang weer het land uit voor ze doorhebben dat ze je niet mochten binnenlaten.
Straks ook met die min 48u op voorhand regel. Van één vliegtuig haal je dat misschien maar honderden volle vliegtuigen per dag die de states binnenkomen, lijkt mij onbegonnen werk.

Ben benieuwd hoe lang ze al die gegevens zullen bewaren.

bedoel je niet 5x zo lang???? :hilarious: tenzij je enkele vingers mist :sorry:

Vanaf vandaag moet iedereen die in Brussel een visum aanvraagt voor de Verenigde Staten afdrukken van de tien vingers laten nemen. Dat gebeurt met een eenvoudige scanner ter grootte van een protonapparaat. Tegen eind dit jaar moet het apparaat in alle Amerikaanse consulaten staan.

Sinds 2004 moeten reizigers bij aankomst in de Verenigde Staten, twee vingerafdrukken laten afnemen. Tien vingerafdrukken leveren echter een preciezer resultaat op. 'De volledige hand was van het begin af ons streefdoel, maar een jaar geleden bestond deze apparatuur nog niet', zegt P.T. Wright van Binnenlandse Zaken.

US to introduce 10 fingerprints system for visitors

BRUSSELS: The US is beefing up security for foreign visitors who will have to give 10 digital fingerprints when they arrive, an official from the US Department for Homeland Security said Monday. Higher quality 10 fingerprint scanners will be evaluated during a pilot programme at 10 US airports to replace the current system, which requires two fingerprints and a photograph. The new system is also being piloted in several US embassies abroad, said operations director for the Homeland Security’s US-VISIT Programme. The 10-fingerprint requirement will apply to travellers from EU nations and other countries, which enjoy the US visa waiver programme, as well as for visitors from others who need visas to visit the US. afp

Pilot program to expand fingerprinting at airports
By Constant Brand, Associated Press June 25, 2007

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -- A program being launched at 10 U.S. airports this year will expand existing identification checks for visitors, including requiring 10 digital fingerprints, but still operate under strict privacy rules, a senior U.S. official said Monday.

The border checks could also soon include other biometric data, such as facial and eye retina scans, as the U.S. upgrades security at its ports, airports and border crossings, said P.T. Wright, operations director for the Department of Homeland Security's US-VISIT Program.

Wright, who was in Brussels to explain the new system to EU officials, said the pilot project would be launched later this year, expanding the current program that calls for taking two fingerprints and facial photographs of visitors to the United States.

The pilot program will affect travelers from countries participating in the U.S. Visa Waiver Program, as well as those coming from nations where visas are required, he said.

Airports chosen for the pilot project include Boston Logan International, Chicago's O'Hare, George Bush Houston Intercontinental, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, Miami International, John F. Kennedy International, Orlando International, San Francisco International and Washington Dulles International.

European Union data protection officials have raised privacy concerns in the past about the U.S. system and a similar fingerprint system being set up by EU nations.

Wright said data would be collected on visitors under strict U.S. privacy protection rules. But he added the prints are checked against U.S. security watch lists and that the FBI and the CIA also have access to the prints.

The 10-print scans would be "virtually 100 percent match accurate," he said.

"We are going to know that that's you," Wright said. Adding other biometric identifiers -- such as facial or retinal scans -- could help better rule out fraud, he said.

The current two-fingerprint arrival system is being used in 115 airports, 15 seaports and 154 land border checks. About 100 million fingerprints have been taken so far, and more than 34,000 people whose names showed up on U.S. watch lists were denied entry, Wright said.
