Singapore has come up with a much more clever name for their frequent flyer project than the US's commonly called.... er... frequent flyer project. They have coined this procedure FAST - Fully Automated Seamless Travel. Just like the trials going on in the US, the Singapore Changi Airport will provide frequent travelers with a card that holds facial and fingerprint data so that they can avoid the full extent of security checkpoints.

Also relevant to this theme is the effort by Asia-Pacific to be forward-moving with biometrics, now moving it beyond an 'emerging technology'. New Zealand leads the way, making headway with international standards on e-passports.
