Just the ticket

If you've ever handed your coat into a cloakroom then lost the ticket, or found someone else has walked off with your jacket after a party, you'll understand the monumental significance of Cloakscan, a new biometric coat-check system. Developed by British technology firm, Idscan (www.idscan.co.uk) the apparently foolproof system scans the coat-owner's thumbprint, then takes a digital photograph of them so that when they return to claim the coat, there's no confusion.
