Using biometrics

[NewsWhore]

The Puerto Rican branch of the US Coast Guard has announced that they will begin using biometric technology to detect people who try to cross to Puerto Rico on small boats. According to Listin Diario, Ricardo Castrodad explained that last Sunday one man had already been stopped using this technology. The man was found with 12 other passengers 12 nautical miles off the Mona Island. Castrodad explains that the small boat was recognized by a plane carrying the information, which then relayed it to a Puerto Rican helicopter, which passed the information on to the coastguards, who then commenced their search. The biometric system includes profiles linked to a database of fugitives and wanted criminals.
