A DNA Database For All U.S. Workers?
fragmer writes "New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg suggested a plan on Wednesday that would establish a DNA or fingerprint database to track and verify all legal U.S. workers. The mayor said DNA and fingerprint technology could be used to create a worker ID database that will 'uniquely identify the person' applying for a job, ensuring that cards are not illegally transferred or forged. Bloomberg compared his proposed federal identification database to the Social Security card, insisting that such a system would not violate citizens' privacy and was not a civil liberties issue."

P.S.: God bless America!
Fuck you!

I'm sorry, I think you need to submit for re-education. The government has said it's not a civil liberties issue; what more proof do you need?
No. The Patriot Act coupled with the DMCA specifically prohibit unauthorized copying of DNA by infants.
Pull my finger for my public key.
After my last visit to NYC, I would say this is SOP.
My photo will feature a great big Groucho Marx mustache and a Bozo wig. And I will supply a DNA sample ... from my cat.
