Abstract
A scanner section of a reader/scanner device that scans and stores biometric data of an individual with a biometric scanner section. A reader section reads and stores machine readable code data with a code reading section. The machine readable code can be associated with a handheld device held by the individual having their biometric data scanned. The reader/scanner device then decodes the code data and stores decoded data. The biometric data is extracted, either within the reader/scanner device or remotely after being transmitted to a remote device. The extracted biometric data is compared to the decoded data, either within the reader/scanner device or remotely after the decoded data is transmitted to a remote device, to determine if the individual is the person listed on the handheld device. If not, the biometric data can be used to determine their identity if they are in a main database.
