London's City Airport has installed a [biometric security system](http://www.europemedia.net/shownews.asp?ArticleID=16249&ref=protein.xyz) that uses fingerprint scanners to manage access throughout the airport. This makes it the first airport to build such a system in Europe. The system scans a fingerprint and employs an extraction algorithm to locate a unique pattern of connections to identify the user. The system does not store the fingerprint, out of concern for privacy, and works in concert with photo identification.
