About a decade ago we had iris scanning at London Heathrow. You had to register upfront, and the idea was only frequent flyers would be registered, but it was great, the lines were short - you didn't even need to get your passport out.
It started getting a bit silly towards the end as unregistered people started clogging up the queues, but it was far faster than the "automatic passport scanning" stuff.
Surely that was harder to forge than a passport photo. I assume the company in charge didn't offer enough bribes to the politicians making the decision.
