Wow! I think it was Minority Repor lt that predicted this.

Guess you will need to get a near IR filter on your glasses or contacts.

All the technological pieces for the ultimate totalitarianism are falling into place. All that’s needed is someone with the will to turn the key and swicth it on. O, what a brave new world!

Can they identify an iris as seen through a rifle scope, from the objective end?

1. amazing
2. could be very helpful for certain LIMITED security-senstive applications
2. almost certainly will be mis-used against us all (like most other new things ... license plate readers, drone spy cameras to follow us around, secret tracking of our movements via our cellphones, govt spying on your phone calls, govt spying on the internet, illegal spying of you down to two centimeters resolution from spy satellites overhead, photo cameras all over town and tied into police HQ, govt spying on your email, govt tracking of your USPS mail in and out, and all the unconstitutional attempts to impose firearms licensing, background checks, and other infringements of our liberties....)

everytning sounnds good and wholesome when carefully packaged for public consumption.....

add it all up... and a Police State ... fellow sheeples, prepare thyselves for more and more sheering

(oh yeah, happy April 15th, too. Aren’t you glad us sheeps get to pay for our own sheering?)

FCC will eventually require iris scan to use Internet. Iris scan to buy groceries, at the checkpoint, get on a flight.
Perhaps you bank can link your iris scan to your account and they won’t even need to give you the mark to buy and sell.

Don’t allow your iris scans to be placed into a database.

Welcome to the USSA, comrades.

[a fool in paradise]

How much damage will be done to the public’s eyes shooting IR beams into them at every conceivable opportunity? Government will want to track your movements, or at the very least scan for fugitives, and marketing firms always build up their data pools on the public’s habits.

Conclusions:
The protein of eye lens is very sensitive to IR radiation which is hazardous and may lead to cataract.
