Connecticut To Store Biometric Information

Posted by timothy on from the your-license-is-ready-mr.-montag dept.

AugstWest writes: "I just got word that when I renew my driver's license, I will have to submit to allowing the CT DMV to store biometric information, as well as smile for facial recognition software from Viisage to be able to continue driving. I am so appalled, I don't even know where to begin. With all of the national law enforcement agencies opening up their databases to each other, is this the first step in taking a surveillance society to a tracking society?"

    sure it's fair, but and it's funny to do it sometimes too. But if we're going to be realistic, it is true that Europe wouldn't have been able to stop Hitler without the help of the US. (Economic & hardware help before officially entering the war, and with troops, kicking ass and taking names after).

    and the US military definately learned some lessons in Vietnam, but it's applied those lessons well. Fact is that the US is a sleepy giant that likes to be left alone. Wake it up and you will regret it. (Why can't Arabs figure this out)???
