Scanners at Bahrain exits

Manama : MPs will discuss this week the possibility of installing eye and fingerprint scanners at all entry points to prevent “terrorists or permanently deported individuals from entering Kingdom”.

The proposal, submitted almost three-years back by Committee Head Abdullah Binhowail, requires eye and fingerprint scanning mandatory for all visitors entering the Kingdom. 

“The proposal aims to prevent terrorists from entering Bahrain and ensure that blacklisted individuals will not be able to re-enter after possibly changing their details and identities,” Binhowail said earlier.

“This proposal would regulate entry to the Kingdom and prevent unwanted individuals from entering or re-entering Bahrain using fake documents or identities,” Binhowail said.

The efforts of the government, represented by Interior Ministry, will be reviewed in the presence of senior police officials during the upcoming weekly meeting of the House of Representatives.
