A DNA Database For All U.S. Workers?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday May 27, 2006 @05:16AM from the he-has-the-best-ideas dept.

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."

Approximately 80% of the population believes the Bible contains or is the word of god simply because the Bible says so. Why is it so unbelievable that approximately 80% of the population will believe the government can be trusted simply because the government says so?

1984? You ain't seen nothing yet. That was a dance in the park compared to where we are headed.

Just remember "Its for the children."

That frog is damn near cooked.
