They sell keyboards now with biometrics, how long before they are required for online transactions? Books you buy, etc, all tracked more easily.

We are being conditioned now to accept presenting ID for all purchases with in-store card programs. Even when paying in cash you don't get the perks without the card.

It's just a matter of time.
