330			_a"(...) While there is no easy, foolproof technical fix to counter terrorism, the use of biometric technologies might help make America a safer place. “Biometrics” refers to the use of a person’s physical characteristics or personal traits to identify, or verify the claimed identity of, that individual. Fingerprints, faces, voices, and handwritten signatures are all examples of characteristics that have been used to identify us in this way. Biometric-based systems provide automatic, nearly instantaneous identification of a person by converting the biometric —a fingerprint, for example— into digital form and then comparing it against a computerized database. In this way, fingerprints, faces, voices, iris and retinal images of the eye, hand geometry, and signature dynamics can now be used to identify us, or to authenticate our claimed identity, quickly and accurately. These biometric technologies may seem exotic, but their use is becoming increasingly common."
