Dynamism and Growth in This Week’s Top Biometrics Stories Roundup

It’s been another richly varied week in biometrics news, and FindBiometrics’ latest roundup of our top stories reflects that. But if there’s one theme common to all of these articles, it’s that they each reflect the dynamism and progress of the overall biometrics market as it continues to grow and its technologies continue to evolve.

CLEAR, for example, continues to expand its network of partner airports, with Chicago O’Hare International Airport having become the latest to embrace CLEAR’s expedited biometric passenger processing system:
