Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods may provide a portable data storage and display device such as, for example, an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), usable to query stored or remote databases containing personal identification information regarding individuals so that images presented on a display unit of the device may be visually compared with characteristics of the individual, and/or individual identification documents that the individual presents. Available images may include pictures of individuals, examples of standard identification forms, and/or biometric identifying data for comparison such as, for example, fingerprint scans and retinal scans. Users may be provided an ability to access flight crew or airline personnel rosters, law enforcement personnel rosters, “no-fly/barred” passenger lists and/or other “persons of interest” lists immediately from an aircraft to verify individual identification providing another layer of personnel security verification and defense, particularly.
