hi john,
re:Viisage is the leader in biometric "face-recognition" systems. Its facePASS product allows high-reliability scanning of faces at key entry points -- once again, think of airport security
stations, or lobby security gateways in public buildings. The software underlying facePASS can either match individuals' facial characteristics to a database of known authorized
persons -- for example, all corporate employees at ABC Corp. -- and allow admittance, or search immense databases for matches with suspects, who are then denied access or
arrested.

Israel’s military intelligence service, Aman, suspects that Iraq is the state that sponsored the suicide attacks on the New York Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington. Directing the mission, Aman officers believe, were two of the world’s foremost terrorist masterminds: the Lebanese Imad Mughniyeh, head of the special overseas operations for Hizbullah, and the Egyptian Dr Ayman Al Zawahiri, senior member of Al-Qaeda and possible successor of the ailing Osama Bin Laden.
The two men have not been seen for some time. Mughniyeh is probably the world’s most wanted outlaw. Unconfirmed reports in Beirut say he has undergone plastic surgery and is unrecognisable. Zawahiri is thought to be based in Egypt. He could be Bin Laden’s chief representative outside Afghanistan.
