Photos: Checking your digits, irises at the airport

Those with miSense cards can use a dedicated self-service check-in kiosk for Emirates or Cathay Pacific airlines in Terminal 3 at Heathrow. A fingerprint scanner on the kiosk verifies the person against the details on the card and then issues a boarding pass.

For those without a card, the miSense kiosk scans and records the passenger's passport and right index fingerprint and then issues a boarding pass.
