they won’t need a tattoo... in local “child safety” fairs, they have been giving parents “DNA Kits” for their children, to take the child’s DNA via a mouth swab, and give it to local law enforcement to have it on hand “in case the child is abducted”.
Texas requires a thumbprint from each hand to obtain a driver’s license now (also must present a social security card, no joke).
Good of them to be concerned that I might lose one hand in an accident and lose my ability to prove (through biometrics) that I am who I claim to be on my card.
