Boston, Sept. 23 (Bloomberg) — Boston’s Logan International
Airport is installing scanners to help verify driver’s licenses
and passports, check for names on warning lists and record all
identities and documents examined, the paper said.
The system will be used first only on airport workers, the
paper said. Massachusetts Port Authority, which operates Logan,
intends to issue new security badges to its approximately 10,000
airport workers, and will use the scanners to test the
authenticity of driver’s licenses and other identification
presented by them, the paper said.

The Massachusetts Port Authority’s aviation director, Thomas
Kinton, wants to expand the new security system to cover all
people who enter the airport, including passengers, the paper
said. A test of the system this summer of 225,000 passengers
uncovered several forged documents, the paper said.
Imaging Automation, based in Bedford, New Hampshire, built
the scanning devices, which are already used at border crossings
and airports in Hungary, Finland and Sweden, the paper said.
