  This response to the RFI considers the potential for biometrics to help or
harm disabled people2. Biometrics are already integrated into many aspects of
daily life, from airport travel to mobile phone use. Yet many of these systems
are not accessible to people who experience different kinds of disability
exclusion . Different personal characteristics may impact any or all of the
physical (DNA, fingerprints, face or retina) and behavioral (gesture, gait,
voice) characteristics listed in the RFI as examples of biometric signals.
