TSA will evaluate all aspects of the agency threat assessment , including checks of relevant criminal history databases , immigration status , relevant intelligence and international databases , duration , identity verification and authentication , and the use of biometrics for credentialing . Except when there 's a more comprehensive on-line check ( maybe at passport control ) , the biometric on file wo n't match the one on the card . With a bit of luck , the efficacy of the biometrics in general may have been shown to be totally crap by then , and we 'll be back to some good sense instead of hand-waving acceptance of industry propaganda . The next issue of the Journal will focus on end-to-end computer security , from the use of " smart cards " and biometrics for user authentication , through security considerations for architecture , infrastructure , and an operating system , to secure coprocessors .
