Wired.com has just reported on a Washington Post article about the FBI's new initiative to begin storing Iris, Fingerprint, and other biometric data to allow them to pick criminals out of a crowd.
Though I may have spent years denying the idea that the government really was turning "Big Brother" on us, I guess I am slowly being proven wrong. Though this effort may take some time, who knows when the next "Patriot Act" will be passed, allowing officials to begin placing cameras in every public place and recording all actions of every individual in the country?
At the same time, the people could be against this initiative enough to force lawmakers to limit the power of the FBI in this regard. For those of you strongly (or even moderately) opposed to this new database, contact your congress person and make your voices heard.
