Too much data - and not being used properly...

no2id logo - the anti-identity card (id card) and national identity database campaign

Whilst in the USA I had to my fingerprints scanned by the US customs, and an Iris scan. Disney also wanted my fingerprint scan - to stop fraud apparently.

Now you may be aware I am against the state having too much in the way of data - No to ID Cards - I have even more issues with another country having this data and even more a private company having them.

I won't rant about it here, you can read the reasons why I am against this elsewhere but if you are going to have the data it should work. Re-entering Disney, you have to be checked in each time, my fingerprint didn't work (how I am not quite sure) so they just let me in anyway - luckily I look honest!
