EU biometrics plan for visitors

How they will implement biometrics into the EU.

- Ah, but now they can demand them to get a passport (or worse yet: drivers license). If you complain the answer will invariability be something along the lines of “Well, travel is a privilege and not a right”. As if the Government is a parent that gets to dole out “permission” to the children before they can do stuff.

- Pro-corporations laws are trampling on people’s rights

- Will biometric data be stored in some central database?

- If I copyright the images of my retinas and fingerprints, can I sue the governments for keeping a record of it without my permission?

- within months the US department of homeland security is to impose a new permit system for Europeans flying to the US, compelling all travellers to apply on-line for permission to enter the country before booking or buying a ticket, a procedure that will take several days.

- It’s only a matter of time until we have the Gattaca-style finger-prick turnstiles. The right to privacy will be viewed as a historically-interesting extravagance in the future. It’s only a matter of time until possession of encrypted data is viewed as “probable cause.”
