Viisage Technology Inc

Polaroid Corp. said it has discussed the sale of its photo-identification unit with Littleton, Mass.-based Viisage Technology Inc. and with a group led by senior managers of the unit. Polaroid is considering bids for its Identification Systems unit, spokesman Skip Colcord said. He didn't give additional details. The unit sells driver's license equipment and related services to 36 states and employs about 350 people worldwide.

Fresno Yosemite International Airport, the first U.S. airport to try Viisage Technology Inc.'s face-recognition technology, stopped using the system because of concerns about its accuracy, officials said. The Viisage system was deployed at the airport in October, but it stopped using the system by January. It was removed by Feb. 1 and replaced by one from rival Visionics Corp.
