Retinal scans are mentioned as being used for identification and transactions above a certain nuyen. What do they do with cybereyed individuals ?

Presumably they have a unique serial number for retinal purposes. The scanner grabs the serial/UPC and runs it though the data base. Although they might also have a false retina pattern modeled after the orginal eye. But even your Bible (SR4 BBB) mentions retinal mods for cybereyes so they must have something.

I'd always assumed a read-only passive RFID tag.

If that were the case the tag could be erased with little diffculty. Then what? Every time you get scanned you set off an alarm or alert the authorities? |

I've assumed it is something complex because nothing actually prohibits you from using the retinal cybereye mods, or the nanocybernetic eyemods to imitate something with a regular eye, and whats more it takes hits above threshold on *another sensor entirely* to notice that you have an illegal eyemod.
Otherwise every retinal scanner would be partnered with a cyberware scanner to make it impossible to ever do any sort of retinal fakery. So cybereyes must have something that resembles conventional retinas. Edit: Mhmm, my logic is pretty shocking in that, but I think you get the idea. |

They really don't want that to happen, as it's an ID . Hence it's a "security" tag. You can erase it the same way you can erase any RFID chip that is built into a single complex integrated processor. With a hammer. Then yes, you do. How many places are going to require a retinal print to pass? Airports, courthouses, booking rooms, . . . All places which won't like you after you try to use a rating 1 fake SIN either. |
