Viisage has no fingerprint biometrics, so that's not the answer to this question I asked earlier. Further, your last post concerned voting cards in the capitol region, not national social security cards. Here's the relevant portion of your earlier link: "The contract calls for Polaroid to produce 35 million Social Security identification cards over 6 years. Production is expected to begin this summer. Terms of the contract weren't disclosed. Polaroid won the contract in competitive bidding as part of a group led by Ayala Systems Technology Inc., a Philippine computer systems integrator and distributor. Other group members include Sagem, S.A. of France and IBM-Philippines." The cards will feature numerous security features, including a two- dimensional barcode containing the cardholder's fingerprint data; PolaSecure, an optical device that is visible only from certain angles; microprinting, ultraviolet ink; and a magnetic stripe containing the individual's social security number and personal identification number for future use at bank ATMs." Jean: Does Polaroid have a fingerprint biometrics component in a West Virginia deal? Save me the trouble of looking. Thanks.
