Germany Prepares For World Cup In Tech Way Shaveta Bansal - All Headline News | May 30 2006 In an attempt to provide the highest security in the upcoming World Cup, officials are not risking leaving any stones unturned. More than three decades after the incident in which Palestinian terrorists killed 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics, Germany has geared up to use technology to boost security for WC guests. According to a report by PCWorld.com, the German government has introduced tickets with RFID chips, a panel to keep a bird's eye-view of WC security situations and finger printing devices for "fast identification." More than 3.5 million tickets with RFID (radio frequency identification) tags will be checked against a database as fans pass through entrance gates at all 12 stadiums. A panel of 120 people will keep a close monitoring on security situations through a center equipped with a arsenal of computers and screens that will show video feeds from surveillance cameras set up to monitor crowds in and around the stadiums as well as in selected public areas. In yet another effort to prevent any upheaval, more than 30,000 federal police officers will be carrying fingerprint devices for "fast identification." ---------------------------------------------------
