They are using the snapshots to build a database which enables them to
prevent refugees from fraudulently claiming more than one U.N. aid
package per person as they cross the border from Pakistan into

Iris recognition, as the technique is known, may sound like the stuff

sorry, I left out the footer, w/out which that last paragraph just seems strange: (this post was forwarded to the Afghaniyat list by Otis Willie of the American War Library, a really strange resource--see below)
