US spooks storing our pupils' prints
Vericool, which supplied the software to Kingsbridge Community College in Devon, is owned by US company Anteon, used by many US government departments including security and counter terrorism.
The system used at the school copies the unique contour of each youngster’s fingerprint, but head teacher Roger Pope insists it is impossible for the digital record to be used to recreate a complete fingerprint.
One pupil said: “This is the sort of biometric information banks of the future could use to access accounts.”
