My problem with this is that people will still be able to hack into to the information and change it and use it

So, your concern is that somebody is going to hack into the DPS, steal your identity, and modify your fingerprint? Sanity check me, but isn't looking at a phone book, and getting your address a little bit easier than going through that mess. I had my identity stolen too, and the %$& fools at American Express sent the thief my AmEx card to a hotel, about 5 miles from my house (instead of mailing it to me); and to add even more stupidity to their monunment of ignorance, they always type your SSAN on the placard that holds the AmEx card. So, instead of simply giving an identity thief an AmEx card, they gave him my SSAN as well.

Thieves will take the easiest way to acquire information they can. AmEx goes out of their way to make it easy for them to do so. The idiots STILL do not have a security question (mother's maiden name, ect). I think anything that makes a legal form of ID harder to forge, and more accurate; is a great idea.

When your identity is verified by finger scan. That information will be sent to a database for verification. Those type of transmissions can be and are interecepted already. They just don't have your fingerscan in them.

NEW YORK STATE: MANY years ago, we were all fingerprinted when we sat for the exam for our Professional licenses. We also submitted a passport photo, obtained a License Number after passing the exam and have a "prescribed" seal bearing the State Seal, the Profession and our License No.

This is old stuff. People act like EVERTHING is something new since 9-11.
