Driver's license finger scan being considered

wkrn ^

Good idea.

[KickRightRudder]

Your papers pleaze!

I think we can all show our solidarity with this finger imaging idea by holding our digit aloft in a salute.

If the legislation becomes law, Oklahoma would join eight other states with a finger-imaging system: Colorado, Mississippi, Georgia, Hawaii, Kentucky, North Carolina, Texas and West Virginia.

Looking at my NCDL, it was last renewed in 3/02.
Last year, I got a duplicate by ordering it online... which obviously did not require my fingerprint.

Is this something new?
If so, I've got a particular finger in mind for them to scan. :)

Hey, I just heard on Fox that the guy they captured yesterday went to A&T!

Whew!

[ward_of_the_state]

The social finger or no?

[Constitution Day]

"Whew!" indeed. LOL.

I seem to recall that he went to A&T from an earlier FR thread some time ago.

[thepitts]

Good idea? I have a finger for them.

[org.whodat]

Is this before ,or after they shoot your dog??

The borders are open, but the gov't wants our biometric data.

What's wrong with this picture?

I live in GA, we don't use touch-print imaging on our driver's licenses. The article is wrong.

See my #5... I think it's wrong too. I believe I would have heard of this if we had it.

Could someone show me one [1] Loserdopian elected to the federal government?

At the very least, wouldn't they notify us, give us a warning, and tell us they need to be renewed? Anyway, I think the writer made an error.

Civil liberties issues aside, there is a deeper problem with biometrics.

If a password is hacked you get another password, if an official document is stolen you get another.

If some bright criminal finds a way to fake your fingerprint, you cannot get another. This won't be foolproof and criminals will have an incentive to find a way to defeat it.

Like the CD and DVD and cable anti-copy software, it took how long, a month or two?

Once some creep copies your print or retina scan or whatever, how are you going to prove it is really you with the card? Or that it was not you in Denver the night of the 15th...

I'm guessing that gov't mandated biometrics will be "the line" for a lot of patriots.

[Black Agnes]

This is how they'll get us to participate in being chipped. There is no foolproof ID method. (even chips aren't foolproof, but the sheeple will be desperate and angstful).

Repeat after me...if it can be read...it can be copied. (where it == fingerprints, DNA, retinal scans, anything...)

What the sheeple do when faced with chipping is another matter entirely. (I predict they will simply bend over...'if you have nothing to hide, what's wrong with being chipped?' 'Only chipped people are absolutely free (from suspicion)')
