  6. Maryland schools weak on digital privacy

    As a parent of a child who will be entering the Maryland public school system next year, I was troubled to learn that some Maryland public schools are utilizing a program called PalmSecure to scan the palm and vein patterns of our children to pay for school lunches. School officials claim that this system is needed because a palm scan takes less time than asking a child to scan a meal card or utilize old-fashioned cash and coins. While school officials allege that the palm and vein images of our children are not stored, once data are created electronically they are saved in some type of identifiable format that may be utilized in the future for purposes that were never initially imagined.
