What do you think the current error rate is? In testing the TSA has something like a 100% failure rate iirc.

- pavel_lishin 8y agoI'm no fan of the TSA, but you're comparing apples to handguns-in-handbags here; their inability to find planted explosives in my luggage isn't the same as a failure to correctly identify that I have the right documentation to get on the plane.
- ashelmire 8y agoYou're right; failing to detect weapons (and thus letting people die) is a fatal error that can't be corrected. Failing to correctly id you is something that can be corrected by a human afterwards. I'm much happier to let a system incorrectly id someone than to let them onto a plane with a weapon. That said, this seems like just one of many potential id methods that would comprise a larger system (facial recognition, fingerprinting, etc).
