other biometric solutions and components, we are well-positioned with a unique ability to provide the platform on which the new security framework

Visionics offers a series of integrated live-scan management systems that
capture, print and transmit fingerprints electronically. The systems –
available in stand-alone, desktop and portable configurations – capture
fingerprints of applicants and transmit the images to the Office of
Personnel Management, which then submits the image for search against the
FBI’s IAFIS (Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System)
database. The systems serve to assist the airports in complying with the
Transportation and Aviation Security Act of 2001, which mandates fingerprint
background checks for all airport employees to be implemented by the end of
October 2002.
