SmartMetric Announces Fingerprint Activated ID Card Technology Update

BAY HARBOUR, FL, Nov 09 (MARKET WIRE) --
SmartMetric, Inc. (OTCBB: SMME) is pleased to announce today a technology
update.

Company President Colin Hendrick stated, "We are very pleased to announce
that our fingerprint activated ID card has now incorporated a special long
and short range transmitter that allows our technology patented ID cards
to be used in high security sensitive locations. The card is able to
provide 100% accurate verification of the person seeking access or entry
to a facility, such as a sensitive military base. Our card is able to
send a radio signal to a checkpoint sentry box and then be used for
access to building entry doors or gates. No other ID system is able to
provide the level of verification and safety that the SmartMetric Card
now provides. Much like a 'speed pass' used at toll booths, but built
into the size of a standard credit card, the SmartMetric biometric
solution provides the much needed security required."
