'This is a sea change,' said Ben Hayes, spokesman for Statewatch. 'We are going from fingerprinting criminals to universal fingerprinting without any real debate. In the long term everyone's fingerprints will be stored on a central database. You have to ask what will be the costs to a person's privacy.'
According to secret documents obtained by Statewatch, the committee will make it compulsory for all children from the age of 12 to be fingerprinted. However, several of the committee's member states are lobbying to bring the compulsory age limit down. Sweden tells the committee it 'could agree with a minimum age of six years for passports'.

Oooo, I know! Just call the police before leaving your house. Tell them WHERE you're going and WHEN you'll be home.
After all...it's a tool!

Might as well get a DNA sample while they're at it.

Isn't everyone in the civilized world fingerprinted at birth today? All my children were - both hands and, feet.
Does anyone know the changes in finger prints over years.

I most certainly was when I was born, as was my sister (younger), as was my mother and father. It's common practice. I don't know why they're just getting around to this now.

Perhaps you would rather be sent to the Eastern Front! Now give me your fingerprints.

My pop...had many favorite sayings.
One of them was, "Never say never"

freedumb2003, I messed up. I put an [s] at the end of my post. I thought that was the symbol for sarcasm.
