This is one of the worse outcomes from the whole WTC affair. The control freaks attempting significant erosion of civil liberties and a massive increase in government control. As usual, the innocent suffer.

How do you think it will work ? "Excuse me sir, we do not have a record of you on our database, you must be a terrorist" ? Or "In order to board a flight, open a bank account or buy milk at the 7-11 you must first agree to provide a sample of your DNA" ?

Thankfully this will not become a widespread reality, as there will be a very strong opposition to having your fingerprints stored on file 'just in case', or your DNA, or your retinal scan or other biometric data.

Exploring Technology to Protect Passengers With Fingerprint

With more airports interested in security for passengers,
many may turn to biometrics companies for solutions.
