In the world of Auto ID, biometrics are best for a high degree of certainty (high 98%+) and low rejection rates.
Retinal is not the only way to insure a good biometric without having the usual negatives associated with the more common fingerprint database issues of privacy.
Korea has a technology that analyses the vein pattern under infrared light on the back of ones hand and returns a 99%+ ID with the lowest rejection rate in the industry. This is nearly DNA level ID in less than on-half of a second. This method is less invasive as well.
The reason one needs an ID card is to act as the final match in authenticating the official nature of the person being identified.
Good Post!
