Description

Homeland security has become a topic of great concern and requires modern technology and tools such as biometrics, image capture and enhancement to prevent terror attacks. Biometrics uses individual characteristics, such as finger prints, voice and face recognition to detect and detain dangerous persons. Image enhancement uses computer hardware and software to identify people from video and still image captures. Both of them presents a dichotomy - balancing the loss of civil and personal liberties with gain in public and private security. The technology provides effective law enforcement, improving business and industry security.
