  They're partnering with Accenture to develop this for airline travellers in Canada[0]. They also used a similar system with Accenture to help track and verify identities of refugees[1] for the distribution of resources and aid.

    This is unrelated to any previous demo/work Accenture has shown. (I work on this @ MSFT)

      Interesting. Even the tech? It sounds remarkably similar from a high level as the UN project. Either way, thanks for chiming in.
