Borders get camera help
This new system is smart enough to identify the people inside the vehicle and is currently in place and operational at checkpoints on the Hong Kong - Shenzen border (that’s in China for the geographically challenged). The foundation is laid by NEC’s NeoFace biometric face recognition system that works in tandem with NEC’s electronic passport technology, designed to boost both the speed and efficiency of the Hong Kong Department Immigration operations. It does so by enabling residents with microchipped national ID cards to remain seated inside the vehicle as the camera system verifies their identities within seconds. These microchipped IDs contain essential biometric and personal data that makes matching the face a much easier task without sifting through tons of paperwork.
Firstly, the system reads a vehicle’s license plate as it approaches the border gate. Since all vehicles in Hong Kong are registered to an individual driver, the system will run a simple database check automatically, determining who the driver should be. Subsequently, the cameras will be used to scan the driver’s face in order to run up a match in its database. If the answer is in the affirmative, the immigration process is complete and the gate opens.
The new and improved method for idenification will be microchipped people (if they have their way) rather than microchipped ID cards. Here is some history on that.

Soltz: Bush Needs To Resolve Whether Pat Tillman Was Killed For His Political Views
Who Killed Pat Tillman?
Why were Army attorneys sending "congratulatory e-mails" to each other for fending off criminal investigators on the case? The general who kept the details of Tillman's death from the Tillman family and the public claimed that he was having a problem with his memory, and that's why he just couldn't recall any important details of how Tillman's death was handled. Doctors who tried to reconcile the forensic evidence with the official account urged that a criminal investigation be pursued, but they were rebuffed. What's really suspicious, however, is that evidence of enemy fire at the scene was singularly lacking: no one was hit by enemy fire, nor was any equipment damaged. According to numerous reports, there were no Taliban in the area.
