The increasing use of biometrics for identification is raising questions about the ability of Americans to avoid unwanted scrutiny. It is drawing criticism from those who worry that people's bodies will become de facto national identification cards.
i would challenge all of the "freest country in the world" toadys to read the link and tell me that we are "not even close" to being a fascist state...the use of such technologies..in conjunction with the MCA..etc...comes close enough...
mike huckabee is an idiot for the most part..but hes' right on one key point ..

That article says nothing about Bush.
Provide sources that he plans to use biometrics as a national ID. Actual sources, not just more fear-mongering speculation from you or anyone else.

what redstorm says.
This kinda shit though, the idea not the practice, makes me more and more inclined to embrace Huckabee's view of the 2nd amendment, though I don't own a gun
Oh well, I'll let the grandmas of the nation take care of the officers who blindly bound into their homes for no apparent reason

if it was a complete success, this system would be able to identify any person based on their physical appearance alone.
i'm not seeing how this is a grave threat to our freedom, but i'm sure you have an explanation...

As usual, you can't make a legitimate point, so you twist meaning. You knew damn well I was referring to GWB in my post (referenced as King George in the title).
Like I said before, you have no point (like usual) and are full of shit.

more name calling and insults :sigh:
if "fascism stemming from biometrics" is backwards, then are you instead trying to imply that "biometrics technology stems from fascism"?
what's wrong with enhancing the notion of a dossier, bringing it's data profile up to a modern standard, using all available tools?
how do you make the logical leap from this article to "king george plans to use you [sic] body as your national ID"

It certainly is one of the problems and not a small one either.

"fascism stemming from biometrics" is akin to "drug war stemming from urine testing"...

how is this going to impact your life negatively? can you give an example of an actual scenario where this would?
and how is it an indicator of fascism?

george orwell has already answered both of those questions...i should remind you that this is not merely some passive database that sits around on a hard drive..but rather a key component of an active big-brother system...
