New documents greatly heighten the level of trust to citizens. Those people, who got new passport in 2006, will be easier to move to Europe and USA. According to the agreement with countries of EC and USA Russians with old passports should make finger-prints in the embassy, and also when going the frontier control entring to the country of destination. By the way, for registration of the us passport filling the passport application is obligatory.
Since January, 5th, 2004 in sea and air ports of USA the system of registration of enterers US-VISIT was introduced. The land points of the destination of border are equipped such system in two stages: by December, 31st, 2004 - 50 the largest points of the destination of border, and by December, 31st, 2005 - all others. When destinationing of border finger-prints and numerical photo of person bring in the united data bank. The procedure of the biometrical scan takes up few seconds.
From citizens of those countries, with which USA concluded a treaty about non-visa's regulation (West Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Brunei), are demanded from October, 1st, 2004 to have a electrobic passport. But a third of inhabitants of Spain and France and most citizens of Switzerland still have paper us passport of old standard, and in United Kingdom the passage to the new documentation puts off to 2006, so, State Department has to compromise and puts off leading in rules.
In Europe smart-cards for personal identification are used by request for the present. For example, in one of the Amsterdam airports, those people, who often fly, can get a plastic document with the name of the owner and the picture of iris. The owners of the cards pass the control almost instantly - just need put the document in turnstile's cut and look in the camera. The system compares the picture of person's iris with that one, which are recorded on the chip, and if they coincide the system opens the passageway.
On the meeting of Foreign Ministers of France, Germany, Spain, Italy and United Kingdom the decision was decided about leading in biometrical standards in Schengen visas. It'll be a plastic card of a standard size with builted the chip in it. The personal inforamtion, numbered finger-print and the photo in a numerical form with face parameters, computational by the photo and used for the dentification of a person, if he will change a hair style, become sunburnt or grow a beard.
