Homeland Security Today: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) needs to deploy a full and robust biometric immigration exit system, and re-engineered entry system, “as soon as possible,” former National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States counsel Janice Kephart told a Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs “roundtable” this week.
"While the Department of Homeland Security is currently testing certain biometric solutions that are already proven in their speed, accuracy and security in other international airports around the world, ISIS is not waiting to recruit millions who can come to the US visa-free, nor advise its followers to infiltrate the West using fake travel documents and names, as in its 2015 Guide to Surviving in the West,” said Kephart, who currently serves as North America’s Director of BORDERPOL, CEO of the Secure Identity & Biometrics Association and Executive Director of the Airport Entry and Exit Working Group.
