Palm Scanner ? OR something Else
Instead of paying for their lunches with crumpled dollar bills and loose change, students in Carroll County schools are having their palms scanned in a new check-out system — raising concerns from some parents that their children’s privacy is being violated.
The county is one of the first localities in Maryland to use the PalmSecure system, in which children from kindergarten to 12th grade place their hands above an infrared scanner. It identifies unique palm and vein patterns, and converts the image into an encrypted numeric algorithm that records a sale.
Though the school system does not store those images, some parents have complained about the implications of having their children’s hands scanned. About 20 percent of parents have declined to participate in the program, said supervisor of food services Karen Sarno.
“I didn’t appreciate how they handled it,” said Mike Richmond, who has two children at Westminster’s Cranberry Elementary School. He said that the school scanned their hands before sending the opt-out form. “I’m concerned about it. I know it’s the way of the future, but it’s fingerprinting, it’s palm-printing.”
Moss Bluff Elementary School in Louisiana is looking to streamline lunch payments by implementing a palm vein scanner program, but some parents aren't pleased.

A letter to parents this week informed them of the new scanner that will allow the school's nearly 1,000 students to move through the lunch line faster and with fewer payment mistakes -- an issue that had arisen in the past, KPLC-TV reports.
While the letter notes that parents can opt their children out of the program, parent Mamie Sonnier told KPLC-TV that she was angry and disappointed by the program, as the scanner violates her beliefs. She contends that if the scanners actually make it to the school cafeteria, she'll be transferring her kids to another school.
"As a Christian, I've read the Bible, you know go to church and stuff," Sonnier said. "I know where it's going to end up coming to, the mark of the beast. I'm not going to let my kids have that."
Calderara notes that it's just "technology that is used throughout our lives. Everywhere."
Florida's Pinellas Schools were the first to adopt palm scanning technology to pay for lunch last fall under a voluntary program. The technology uses infrared light to read unique vein patterns connected to meal plans.
"It's two seconds to buy a meal. Literally, two seconds," Edward Rutenbeck, senior user support analyst with Pinellas Schools Food Services told WTSP.
I Think its Cool:P
Nothing Dangerous or anything God ..For now its just a palm scanner
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Can't say I wouldn't love to give it a try! Who knows, maybe it isn't of the devil as that person says!

Re: Palm Scanner ? OR something Else
I have clients (banks) in the Caribbean Islands that have been plagued by a rash of debit/credit card cloning by Venezuelan gangs so they commissioned us for a solution. I'm currently leading a project to develop an interface with an iris scanner that will be used at ATMs (to start) for identification and authentication that will eliminate the use of credit/debit cards and PINs. Technology is a good thing (for the most part).
Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.
Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Because they're both things that scan the eye. But Loki was using hypnosis, iris scanners are just identification.RickD wrote:Why does "iris scanner" make me think of that German guy in Avengers that Loki got a hold of?I'm currently leading a project to develop an interface with an iris scanner that will be used at ATMs (to start) for identification and authentication that will eliminate the use of credit/debit cards and PINs.

No, Loki got the guy's eye, so Hawkeye could get in the door. Remember, Loki jammed that metal thing in the guy's face?Dudeacus97 wrote:Because they're both things that scan the eye.
