The provenance of passengers intending to depart on a vehicle from a transportation facility, is ensured by providing biometric reading devices at both a check-in station and a departure area station of the facility. The name and / or other information concerning a passenger arriving at the facility is also entered for assessment into a background check system. A biometric template of the passenger is acquired by the reading device at the check-in station and forwarded to the departure area station. When the passenger appears at the latter station, a second biometric template is acquired by the reading device there. The second template is compared with each of a number of templates that were forwarded from the check-in station. If no match exists, or if the background check system returns an unsatisfactory assessment, the passenger is refused boarding onto the vehicle.

When a user is requested to provide the user's social security number (SSN) or other personal information for conducting a credit / background check, the user may use a mobile app on the user's mobile device to display a unique identifier which is used in place of the SSN for processing the user's credit / risk analysis. The unique identifier is used as a protection layer on top of a user's SSN to reduce chances of identity fraud. In particular, an unique identifier (token) may be generated and issued to current payment account holders or new payment account holders when they sign up for payment accounts. When a merchant requires a customer's social security number for performing a credit or background check on the customer, the customer may simply provide the unique identifier and may be cleared to start using the merchant service without exposing the customer's SSN.

A system for preventing unauthorized access to a firearm trigger includes a database of PIN numbers associated with a plurality of trigger locks and access tokens, each corresponding trio represented by an identification code. At purchase, a purchased firearm includes a two-piece trigger lock along with an access token. Each token includes a unique configuration of ferro-magnetic wires.
