the idea of biometric most anything always bears the burden of protecting the identification info. aside from privacy concerns, i worry when the state talks about biometric id cards because i am concerned that theyll leave the data vulnerable to attack, obviously. in my state of ohio, over 1 million state empoloyess had their personal data 'lost,' a backup tape was heisted from some interns car.
although i would trust private companies to operate more efficiently, i dont think i can trust them to de-spookify the spectre of having all that data.
yeah, just to update your comment about ohio, I think you are combining two separate problems, I know the backup tape that got stolen from the interns car had information on people who had not cashed their income tax refund (me) and I got a letter in the mail saying my name was on the tape.
