In Tokyo where there are thousands of train commuters at any given moment, security always seems to be a problem. It is especially a concern for the managers of Tokyo stations because of the high risk of terrorist attacks on their trains. Biometrics however, has proven to be successful in terms of helping to locate would be criminals in time. The fingerprint scans taken from suspect persons are matched with a database of suspects and when combined and connected to the databases of CCTV units, it becomes possible to quickly identify suspects on the platforms. Biometrics is also now used widely at airports and IDtek has been involved in the installation of several units to improve airport security.
