TSA Taps Unisys to Evaluate Advanced Biometric Technologies at Three AirportsPilot program will address security and efficiency for frequent air travelers
BLUE BELL, Pa., June 16, 2004 – Unisys Corp. (NYSE: UIS) announced today that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) awarded the company a contract for three of five airports under TSA's Registered Traveler Pilot Program. Registered Traveler permits frequent fliers to obtain a biometric credential – a unique identifier, such as a fingerprint or iris scan, that enables them to navigate airport security checkpoints more efficiently without compromising the security standards TSA has implemented.
Unisys, which has more than a decade of experience integrating biometric technologies that verify an individual’s identity, will use both iris and fingerprint recognition technologies at three locations – Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport and George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston. The pilot is scheduled to last 90 days at each airport. About Unisys Unisys is a worldwide information technology services and solutions company.
