Will that detect Rajapaksas? Otherwise not worth for the money.

They must also monitor the official thugs bringing discredit to the country. Yesterday my cousins fiancée who is a foreigner whilst boarding a Qatar Airways flight from Colombo was hassled by a officer who wanted to check her passport and harassed her why she visits Sri Lanka often and why she's not married. She rightfully answered that marriage is her own business. The officer then told her that he will only give the passport if she buys chocolates for him. She threw 1000 rupees at him and he returned the passport. What a shameful act. Bringing disrepute to the country for 1000 rupees which is not even 3 dollars for a foreigner. How far we have fallen as a nation.

Such a system was also installed at German airports, train stations, central bus stations and shopping centres for test purposes. It failed miserably. There were too many false hits. In Sri Lanka this would mean that innocent people would be arrested, delayed for hours and missed their flights, for which the state would have to pay high compensation. Since all passengers have to pass the emigration counter, a fingerprint scanner would be 100 percent successful.

Can easily guess the true outcome of this system when you see the guys who installed it.

If the criminals are serving and waiting to serve the country, at least allow them to leave so we don't have to deal with them anymore

BIA is a nightmare airport. Nowhere in the world does a toilet attendant hand out tissue paper. Either install air dryers or installed tissue paper dispensers. Everyone at the airport expects a tip from passengers . Also train the peacocks manning the check-in counters. They seem to have no customer experience training.

According to reports the so called system has been installed years ago and not in operation. Now these two buffoons to hood wink the masses trying to show that they are so eager to stop crime by installing them at the air port which was there already. These two have not still answered the owner of the beach property which was destroyed without a court order and the accusation made by the him having a press conference.

Some day you will also be identified by the very same unit when you try to run away from the public.

If the criminal justice system runs properly in the country, no politician can leave the country or enter the country while this so called automated system operating.
