The FBI already has 55 million sets of fingerprints on file. I wonder how many of those are CHP holders.

This is truly scary....
As I read the article, for some reason, I began thinking of the film "Minority Report". Out in public where you can be identified with scanners. A citizen's movements could be tracked with reckless disregard for that citizen's safety.
It is certainly still Hoover's FBI.

Here's what was being tested in 2001...
Call It Super Bowl Face Scan I
02-02-01-WASHINGTON -- When tens of thousands of football fans packed into a Florida stadium for Super Bowl XXXV, they weren't merely watching the game: They were also being watched. Face-recognition software surreptitiously scanned everyone passing through turnstiles and flashed probable matches with the mugs of known criminals on the screens of a police control room.

I think this could POSSIBLY be done to people that has a certain high level ciminal record, felons, maybe.
I think that they should let the LAW ABIDING Citizes/Residents be.
Don't like the idea, but IF compromise is needed.

Apparently, people will never get the fact that what the force on their fellow citizens will someday be forced on them too. If you want to protect your own rights, protect the rights of your neighbor.

Better spoken by this fellow:
He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
Thomas Paine
US patriot & political philosopher (1737 - 1809)

All this complaining about being tracked and monitored...
Have you noticed that the stuff containing RFID chips and such are optional items you are not required to carry with you as you walk-about?
How about this.... get some animal pelts and make some clothing and carry none of those items and you will be fine. You can be the anonymous citizen among the populace.
The day they require me to implant a chip into my body is the day I will join you. Till then I accept the items I may purchase may have RFID chips or tracking devices.
What the hell do I care?? The government has my address so if they really want to come get me... they can find me at work or at home.
The facial recognition is used to help find honest, law abiding citizens in past years who have since broken a few laws or escaped from prison.
The government has no need to know who attended the game... they only want to find the bad people and get them off the streets so the quality of life of those that are good can be enjoyed.
Why do paranoia and guns go hand in hand so often??

Come on now LEO229...paranoid, who's paranoid? You know they watch all 300 million of us 24/7. Cameras are everywhere!!!! Heck I hear that they may even start putting mini-cameras in toilet paper so we have no privacy!!!
The conspiracy is so great that your dentist may have implanted that micco-chip on your last visit. Everyone is the enemy.
I just had a horrible thought....does anyone think that the goverment might be forcing gun manufacturers to put a destructive device in our weapon that the government could use to destroy them at any time they choose?
Oh my so much to worry about!!!!!! No I'm not paranoid. (Just having a little fun folks)

Your son or daughter will be like, "C'mon dad, what's the big deal? Do you have something to hide? It's being implanted so people can steal your identity and to help fight terrorism."

Not into altering my body.
No tattoos on my forearm and no RFID chips in my body.
I am going to have to pass.
