ASAP (Airport Security And Protection)

Mission Statement:
The mission of ASAP is to provide security for the patrons & employees of small airports.

Client:
An airport interested in increasing overall security measures. A small airfield where only small private planes access this airport.

Options for Security Measures

• Face Scanner
• Iris Scan
• Fingerprint Scanner

Face Scanner

• Camera captures image of face
• Analyzed for certain "nodal points" (distance between eyes, etc.)
• unique "template" ( series of #) is generated and compared to others
• 80% -90% accuracy
• Photographs of authorized personnel will also permit entrance

Eye Scanner

• Retinal scanner: measure pattern of blood vessels
• Iris scanner: examines patterns of ridges on iris
• Considered the most accurate biometric
• Will not work on people who are blind or have cataracts 

Fingerprint Scanner

• Scanner captures image of ridges & furrows of fingerprint
• compares details to fingerprint on files
• 95-98% accurate
• Any chemical residue on finger will affect the scan

Testimony
A private airport in Phoenix, Arizona incorporated a new security system 2 years ago and has been successful in keeping the air passage safe. Before the security system was in place, there had been multiple threats against the safety passengers. Now there have been less to none altercations against security.

Slim to None Chance
Unless you cut off the authorized personnel's finger, take a detailed picture of their face and eye, then it's near impossible to get through this security system.

Privacy
If a security guard is placed near the scanners watching over the process then no one will be able to cheat the system.
