Schools Scanned Students' Irises

Schools scanned students' irises without permission:

Parents in Polk County, Florida are outraged after learning that students in area schools had their irises scanned as part of a new security program without obtaining proper permission. Ref. Source 4

Irises Students Scanned Schools

I think that if a school wants to tighten security by doing iris scans without a parents permission it is going to be in the wrong. The parents are the ones who are responsible for the child not the school. I am not sure of how safe iris scans are currently. I am sure there are much better ways of tightening security that is much less invasive. I believe the parents would be much happier with less invasive measures too.
