Although I was never in the military, nor have I ever had a criminal record. I was fingerprinted for a Top Secret position as a DOD Contractor. Also the state of Georgia takes a thumbprint when you get a drivers license.

Many people are very unaware of how their fingerprints can so easily be placed on file now of days. I'm amazed by this ignorance myself. I believe everyone should be fingerprinted, what's the worry if you have nothing to hide?

Because the State should be limited in its ability to track and monitor law abiding Citizens.

Oh, yeah! For sure! In fact, let's take photographs of everyone's faces (requiring them to show up for new photographs every year), get DNA samples from everyone, take voiceprints and retinal prints, and put it all in a big government database linked by Social Security number. I mean, you've got nothing to hide, right? so why should you object? In fact... we should store every transaction you've ever made with your credit card in there too. You've got nothing to hide, so why should you care? And... oh, never mind...

This is one of the few things I really *HATE* about so-called "conservatives" - they seem to be willing to give the Government (all bow) all the necessary tools of a totalitarian police state because they think they themselves have "nothing to hide". (If I had a nickel for every time I've heard a so-called "Conservative" say "I have nothing to hide, I could retire right now).

The frightening thing is, we get the same crap from the Lie-berals, except instead of intoning about "security", they dribble on about how it's "For The Children". Either way... Welcome to 1984, braindead groveling government-worhshiping socialist style.
