Busy spy crossroads such as Dubai, Jordan, India and many E.U. points of entry are employing iris scanners to link eyeballs irrevocably to a particular name. . . . For a clandestine field operative, flying under a false name could be a one-way ticket to a headquarters desk, since they’re irrevocably chained to whatever name and passport they used.

It's funny how the lack of ability for spies to take aliases anymore may make James Bond going under his real name everywhere more realistic.

Could you just wear a contact that obfuscates your iris?
