Aadhaar: India top court upholds world's largest biometric scheme
BBC ^ | 9/26/18

Posted on 09/26/2018 3:40:17 PM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

India's Supreme Court has ruled that the country's controversial biometric identity scheme is constitutional and does not violate the right to privacy.

However the court limited the scope of the Aadhaar scheme, saying it could not be compulsory for bank accounts, mobile connections or school admissions.

The world's largest biometric ID database covers welfare and tax payments and access to social services.

More than a billion Indians have already been enrolled.

Many don't have other forms of identification - only 65 million own a passport and 200 million have a driving licence.

Those who enrolled in Aadhaar received a unique 12-digit identification number after submitting their fingerprints and retina scans. About 30 petitioners went to court to argue that the scheme infringed Indians' privacy.

Of course they did.

These roads will lead to the 666 system of the False Prophet.

The data collection points are already underway. Some, possibly, may not even realize what they’re doing. Sure, technology is cool. Until the Lawless One is passed off as a “messiah” when he’s really the “anti-messiah”.

Revelation 13.

and

Revelation 14.

While we’re at it, 2nd Thessalonians 2:3-4.

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Most people think technology is awesome, until it calls their number.

It is pretty awesome. I’ve worked with many of the top business computers (going back a few years to before that).

Lotsa cool stuff. Very cool stuff. I enjoy using what few gadgets I have, myself.

And a tremendous opportunity for a world dictator. The doubters try to laugh it off. The Bible isn’t joking.

Data collection is underway, indeed.....

India has shown how a massive operation is undertaken. And they could speed it up, too, if they wanted.

It’s just how many data collection points they put out there.

And everybody’s phone has a camera. Think how easy....to “register” for the system, citizen.

Of course, they’ll have to visit an official facility for the Mark.

When the time comes.

Why did they bother with a number? It can't be used for authentication, they will need to be fingerprinted or retinal scanned again to prove their identity since anyone can steal or guess a number. But I suspect they will use the number despite the lack of security so ID theft will be easier than ever.

MICR tattoos are real, as well.

I was in banking in the 1980’s when our company was testing and installing MICR readers for checks. Boy was that a long time ago. Feels like a different lifetime.
