Aviation Security Biometrics Working Group

Overview
The Aviation Security Biometrics Working Group (ASBWG) was established after 9/11 by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to perform an initial analysis of the [[efficacy of integrating biometrics into airport security systems. The rapid (less than two months) work of this ad hoc'' group not only provided a reality check for the FAA and a foundation for biometric decisions in the soon-to-be-created Transportation Security Administration (TSA), but also identified several difficult issues that would need dedicated attention by government agencies for some time to come. }}
