Dubai Airport Using Contactless Cards
Contactless RFID (radio frequency identification) smartcards are being used at Dubai International Airport - one of two such airports worldwide - to allow registered passengers to pass through [Contactless News] automated entry and exit gates faster. The cards are swiped at a terminal and a three second fingerprint scan is performed, after which passengers are authorized to pass through the airport. Zebra Card Printers are being used to create the cards, of which over 100,00 have been made.
Singapore Gets Biometric Credit Card

Not surprisingly, the cards are being issued to participants between the ages of 25-34. Unrelated research shows that this age group is more receptive to RFID and biometrics than older generations.
