MIDDLETON, Mass. — The iris has it — the key to your identity, that is.
And someday soon, sheriff departments in the state’s 14 counties could be using iris scans to find missing children and adults, with the Middleton Jail taking the lead in making what used to be the stuff of James Bond films a reality.
Like your fingerprints, patterns, swirls, lines and spots on the iris never change. A scan of the iris with a digital camera can be stored in a database for retrieval later, and then used to verify a child’s identity.
