Also, whenever a biometric ID system comes into being (and I’m quite sure it’s a matter of “when”, not “if”), I think it’s very important to require duplicate databases at the federal, state, and county levels. The federal government can’t be trusted, and there needs to be a mechanism for challenging the validity of its data.
Just to ensure that the government always has a copy to use against the masses. That way if something happens to it in one spot, it can be backed up from another.
How Big Brother of you.

Of course the federal government can't be trusted. That's the whole point of why they shouldn't have it at all. But once the government gets that kind of power, it's not going to be giving it up and there will be no challenging it. What the government says will go and if it's used against you, as it will be, sucks to be you.
