Police Ask Stores to Take Fingerprints

Coffee Warlord writes "Operation Thumbs Up, scheduled to begin citywide Sunday, aims to help authorities identify check theft and forgery by obtaining a source of identification that can't be stolen or faked - fingerprints. Dawson doesn't expect complaints from customers. "I anticipate if you are not guilty of anything, it's not going to matter to you if someone takes your thumbprint," she said. -- There are so many things wrong with this, I can't even begin to start."

Re:Why not take your DNA?

[TheGratefulNet]

why stop at just a hair sample?

why not collect samples of:

• urine
• stool
• hair
• blood
• semen

or, to save time, I'll just give you my underwear and let YOU sort it all out!
