FBI is embarking on a $1 Billion World’s largest biometric database of peoples’ physical characteristics. This will give the government the ability to identify individuals in the United Sates and abroad.
System will contain digital images of faces, fingerprints and palm patterns in a climate-controlled, secure location. FBI will award a 10-year contract that will expand the amount and kinds of biometric information it receives. Police and law inforcement authorities around the world will be able to use the system to identify people on iris patterns, face-shape data, scars and even the way people talk and walk. FBI will also have, upon request by the employers, the fingerprints of employees who have undergone criminal background chekcs so the emplyers can be notified if the person had a criminal past.
FBI hopes that the system will help slove crimes and identify criminals and terrorists.
chalo this way half of the muslim population through out the world will either end up in gitmo or in graves bcos i don’t really see muslims condition improving in the near future and that will only give rise to more desperation and terrorist :halo:
in essence nothing different than fingerprinting now which ppl have to go thru for immigration, security clearance, background checks, teachers have to go through it also, and u have to go thru local, state and federal finger printing and background checks for an international adoption.
the only difference here is that they are recording more information than just fingerprints now.

Looks more like another Homeland Security and merger of Immigration and Custom agency. Big government, more tax and job rarely gets done. Security should be left on local levels.
X2: which is sad, i am more in favor of airlines providing their own security than government giving their elaborate procedures of "items you can and can't take".

would u like airlines to keep databases on people then?
and if it does not violate privacy then does it matter who has that info?
no, but unfortunatly government has violated privacy for political reasons. moreover, after FEMA, Department of Homeland Security, i think its better not to enlarge the broken government. they can hardly run what's there.
