The shift from access control cards to biometrics (fingerprint or facial) is industry-wide, especially for sectors impacted by the Patriot Act. Even maritime workers are increasingly required to have their fingerprint scanned (to be compared to the print of their TWIC). I wish them the best of luck in resisting the safety tyranny.
