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.[1]}}
