U.S. Coast Guard Uses Biometric Handheld in Anti-Terrorism Efforts

Integrated Biometrics‘ Columbo fingerprint sensor is now helping to keep US cargo facilities safe and secure, thanks to a partnership with Parroco Security Integration Group, or “P-SIG”. The latter has integrated the Columbo solution into its MozaicID handheld biometric scanner, which has now been selected by the U.S. Coast Guard for use in verification of the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (“TWIC”) implemented after 9/11 to prevent terrorist attacks at coastal shipping facilities.
