What do *you* think? Can you post some of the advantages and disadvantages of such a system? How much of such a system is in use right now for security access for different parts of an airport and aircraft?prashantakerkar said:
I think those are both good cons. I'd add that you probably need mechanical backups for those biometric devices, since power can be lost (and backup batteries can go dead), and you still may need access to those areas under those conditions.prashantakerkar said:
There have been some amusing (and sometimes not so amusing) instances where voice recognition software failed because the person trying to speak was extremely stressed about something. Not a good time to lock the pilot out of the cockpit, just because his/her voice is a pitch higher as the plane is going down...
Biometric devices in commercial aircraft are electronic systems that use physical or behavioral characteristics, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or iris scans, to identify and authenticate passengers or crew members.
Biometric devices in commercial aircraft use sensors to capture and analyze biometric data, which is then compared to a database of pre-registered information. If a match is found, the person is granted access or allowed to board the aircraft.
Biometric devices in commercial aircraft offer several benefits, including increased security, faster and more efficient boarding processes, and reduced fraud and identity theft. They also eliminate the need for physical documents, such as boarding passes or passports, making travel more convenient.
Yes, biometric devices in commercial aircraft are safe and secure. The data collected is encrypted and stored in a highly secure database, and access to this information is strictly regulated. Additionally, biometric data is unique to each individual, making it difficult to replicate or misuse.
It is possible that biometric devices may eventually replace traditional forms of identification in commercial aircraft. However, this would require widespread adoption and advancements in technology. Currently, many airlines and airports are using biometric devices alongside traditional forms of identification for a more seamless travel experience.
