Palm ID verifies in US for alcohol buys and in Beijing for subway rides

One, Amazon’s palm biometric payment service, has a new age-verification function. An adult will be able to buy alcohol by holding a palm over a One scanner.

Customers who have registered to use One can start using the new feature by visiting one.amazon.com and uploading the front and back of a government-issued ID and a selfie.
