Colo. Corrections Uses Eye Scans to Test for Drugs (USA) / Join Together, 22 July 2004

Colo. Corrections Uses Eye Scans to Test for Drugs: "Larimer County Community Corrections in Colorado is using advanced technology that scans for alcohol and other drug use by measuring involuntary eye movement, the Coloradoan reported July 20.

Called PassPoint, the machine is expected to reduce costs, allow for more frequent testing and enable the facility to take on more clients. PassPoint uses a series of cameras and computers to scan for drug use through the pupil of the eye."
