I was at the Beirut City Centre on Saturday and I noticed the security people were using a machine to check car plate numbers. I’m assuming they are checking if the car is stolen or not, pretty much like what I’ve suggested in my Masrou2a App post.
I am hoping the ISF will implement soon a license plate recognition technology to track down stolen cars and maybe figure out where they’re setting up the cars with explosives or catch random car thieves.
Actually they are doing more than that… they are scanning the finger prints of the driver’s for handle! They got and high scanner and keeping a database of who is parking in and what time… let’s hope they never need to use it
the machine they’re using Firas actually detects explosive material on the driver’s door handle. the security personnel swipe a small card on your door handle then scan it using a censor at the top of their handheld device. if it detects explosive material it sends out an audible warning [beep].
Finallyyyy,they should also implement this in other malls
