Dept. of Homeland Security To Test Iris Scanners

SonicSpike writes "The Homeland Security Department plans to test futuristic iris scan technology that stores digital images of people's eyes in a database and is considered a quicker alternative to fingerprints. The department will run a two-week test in October of commercially sold iris scanners at a Border Patrol station in McAllen, Texas, where they will be used on illegal immigrants, said Arun Vemury, program manager at the department's Science and Technology branch. 'The test will help us determine how viable this is for potential (department) use in the future,' Vemury said."

LMAO. Also brought to you by the folks at Diebold, makers of the hackable electronic voting device. Now taking bets on how long it will take to hack into our iris scanners.

Illegals! (undocumented people)

[Anonymous Coward]

I got passed by a new Cadillac
Had 10 people pilled in it, California Tags
Tried to catchum by you know my Yugo don't go that fast
So I pulled into the station where he was pumping gas
I said hey there Amigo whatchu got under the hood
He said Jes so I guess he don't speak English that good Illegals

Down at the Piggly Wiggly I was standing in line
There was an Army of Illegals just a taking their time
2 baskets ful of groceries and one full of steaks
Just me and Captain Crunch and they still made me wait
I said feedin all your buddies must hit your wallet hard
Said no problemo all the Nino's they got Welfare cards Illegals
Chorus
I called up the congress to see what they would do
Said for Spanish press 1 For English press 2
Now we're overpopulated with undocumented people
They word hard bless their hearts but their still Illegal Illegals

I been building houses for about 10 years
I showed up for work this morning said you don't work here
He pays them cash under the table and its half the cost
And his accountant found a way that he could write it off.
Now their diggin and their brickin drivin new Backhoes
And there sending my money back to Mexico.......Illegals
Chorus

The Taliban? You mean the guys who offered to turn over Bin Laden to face trial in Pakistan, but we refused? You remember Bin Laden. He's the guy we put Pakistan in charge of finding. Makes perfect sense.
