John Ashcroft

In the spring of 2007, a retired senior official in the U.S. Justice Department sat before Congress and told a story so odd and ominous, it could have sprung from the pages of a pulp political thriller. It was about a principled bureaucrat struggling to protect his country from a highly classified program with sinister implications. Rife with high drama, it included a car chase through the streets of Washington, D.C., and a tense meeting at the White House, where the president's henchmen made the bureaucrat so nervous that he demanded a neutral witness be present.

The former Attorney General now has an investment firm. And that group has just sunk some cash into Ceelox, the biometric security concern. (Exactly how much, the companies won't say.)

 

Parent(s) or guardian(s) and the child authenticate the child's arrival and departure through a fingerprint scan located at the point(s) of arrival and departure. For children too small to use a fingerprint scanner, Ceelox K[id]™ uses photographs of both the child and the parent/guardian to authenticate arrivals and departures.
