Eye Scan For New Jersey School

Drudge is sure pushing this story about an iris scanning program at an elementary school in the Freehold Borough School District.

Funding for the project, more than $369,000, was made possibly by a school safety grant through the National Institute of Justice, a research branch of the U.S. Department of Justice.

"The idea is to improve school safety for the children," said Phil Meara, superintendent, Freehold Borough School District, on Monday. "We had a swipe-card system that operated the doors, but the technology was obsolete."

Gosh, only $369,000 – every school in New Jersey will need to install the equipment.
