FBI prepares "vast" Database Of Citizen's Biometrics

www.washingtonpost.com

CLARKSBURG, W. Va. -- The FBI is embarking on a $1 billion effort to build the world's largest computer database of peoples' physical characteristics, a project that would give the government unprecedented abilities to identify individuals in the United States and abroad.

Digital images of faces, fingerprints and palm patterns are already flowing into FBI systems in a climate-controlled, secure basement here. Next month, the FBI intends to award a 10-year contract that would significantly expand the amount and kinds of biometric information it receives. And in the coming years, law enforcement authorities around the world will be able to rely on iris patterns, face-shape data, scars and perhaps even the unique ways people walk and talk, to solve crimes and identify criminals and terrorists. The FBI will also retain, upon request by employers, the fingerprints of employees who have undergone criminal background checks so the employers can be notified if employees have brushes with the law.

Well, its official with a Billion dollar contract to prove it! Naturally, another Bush family cabal is behind the wheel- steering the FBI. I for one see this as a launching pad to the implementation of the RFID chip which will likely have American citizens scrambling for these implants in order to be processed more quickly through lines at Airports, Banks, hospital emergency rooms, Amusement Parks, Dinner reservations, Driving on toll roads-you name it- the chip will get you to the front of line faster. I further predict the chip will ensure employment, and more.

This is exactly how they will do it given how impatient the average citizen is- as soon as they come up with the appropriate spin- Citizens will line up demanding their chip.

How will they collect the data from people? Well this is the primary way and its a thread which was started a while ago about illegal seizing of DNA:
