“Show Me Your Papers” Becomes “Open Your Eyes” as Border Sheriffs Expand Iris Surveillance

'In May, I traveled to Wayne County, North Carolina, to observe the sheriff’s department’s new BI2 iris unit in action. '

'According to Leonard, the El Paso County sheriff’s department now has iris identification up and running, and Cameron County is next. '

'He will be one of the first border sheriffs using it. '

'For law enforcement, the tool promises to help identify people without reliable fingerprints and to deter repeat border crossers. '

'To make an identification, BI2’s iris recognition program compares an individual’s iris against the over 987,000 iris scans held in its private database, which collects images from over 180 law enforcement jurisdictions nationwide. '
