PHOTO: Falluja Iraqi gets EYE SCAN from American Soldier (degrading)


seriously, how much more degradation of these poor third-world country residents? And is this just a TEST for USA Citizens? What kind of eye damage? This is just TOO horrifying...reminds me of the MARKS put on Jewish Holocaust Victims....

2. It's heeere...JFK Passengers can get "Smart Cards" with Eye Scans

EYE FLIGHT: IRIS SCAN FOR JFK PASSENGERS
http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/38159.htm

Travelers who voluntarily enroll in the eye-scan program must undergo an extensive background check, including criminal history reviews, fingerprinting and a face-to-face interview with a homeland security official.

Once approved, they'll receive a special "smart card" that holds their passport and iris details.

When they arrive at JFK, the pre-approved passengers can skip the long lines at customs and head straight to special kiosks, plug in their smart card and have their eyes scanned.

5. WE BLEW UP their houses and now they'll need an eye scan
if they'd like to see the damage, see we don't trust THEM...THEY could be terrorists.

AND

Here we are wagging this high tech gadget when these people are still without electricity and running water. That's also insulting, in my opinion.
