“Dara Casey ’25 said she does not like sharing personal forensic information.”

If she’s 25 and still in college, she needs to START STUDYING.

They don’t like palm scanning, but they think nothing of Android and iphone face scanning hundreds of times each days.

Mark of the beast. If you use it you’ll go to hell probably.

WAY too late, lefties.

You have long given up your freedoms by attending Dartmouth.

Click-bait.

Getting people used to the idea a little at a time.

It won't suddenly one day become compulsory. There will be a transitional period when it will be pitched as more convenient. Sort of like is now being done using smart phones.

“are destined to stand in a line waiting for entry.”

How is a palm scanner any quicker than a physical card?
The card would already have an ID in digital format. Palm scanner would have to take scanned data and formulatically create some sort of ID.

Maybe they plan to have multiple palm scanners and intentionally limit card scanners.

As everyone knows I am fervently anti-tech.

The brief TV animated Dilbert show had the company employees first having fingerprint, then palm print, for various places to go in the corporate building for their jobs. Then a little camera on a moving swivel arm in their cubicle that finally just moved with a whirring sound in front of their faces so they couldn’t see the screen to do their work.

Then a sign: Prepare for retinal scan.
And finally a line waiting at the “Prepare To Give Spinal Tap Fluid Sample.” area.

Not as exaggerated as those days.

“others expressed concerns about the “risk” of their personal biometric data being collected and misused or stolen.”

Risk?

It’s virtually guaranteed.

“”It won’t suddenly one day become compulsory. There will be a transitional period when it will be pitched as more convenient. Sort of like is now being done using smart phones.””

Reminds me of the Ivy League student taking classes online during the Plandemic. He was living in South Korea, and all of his classes were online. When he attempted to register for another semester, he had to provide proof of vaxxination. He would not be allowed to ‘attend’ classes without this proof. He took his tuition money elsewhere.

"Do you want your palm read?"

"Sure!"

Everyone but me watched the X Files when it was first run.
I’m decades late but recently saw the incredibly frightening (for me) episode:
Season 11 episode “Rm9sbG93ZXJz”

Yes, the grim, gallows humor (not funny to me) had the same things we encounter (your username not on file, access not allowed, we are learning your purchase likes based on past orders and suggest these....). Horror to me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cosqCKuhAI

By the way, all of you could have known about (and told me about) the drones in the episode which are like the 2025 ones in New Jersey.

[How is a palm scanner any quicker than a physical card?]

Well, technically you have to pull the card out - somebody might have it in their wallet all the way to scanning
BUT intentional or not, this is conditioning the masses to take the Mark of the Beast - which will not happen tomorrow, of course - it's incrementalism

WHAT could possibly go wrong?

Yep

1) Oh, it’s more Convenient and Faster!

2) It helps prevent Identity Theft and Crime!

3) It’s part of our system - there’s nothing we can do!

4) You can’t BUY or SELL without it!

5) Refusal???!!! OFF WITH YOUR HEAD, CHRISTIAN!!!
