Israeli Knesset Approves Biometric Database Law

Posted by timothy on from the and-who-will-you-be-visiting? dept.

Lord Duran writes "The Israeli Knesset approved a bill that will require every Israeli citizen to submit a visual scan of their face and a biometric scan of their fingerprints to a national database. I, for one, fail to see how this is anything but evil. TFA mentions the Israeli census was breached — I'd like to point out, for comparison, that it's still freely available on your peer-to-peer file sharing network of choice."

    What is a "biometric visual scan of their face"?

    I heard the "Hot Or Not" website folks are consulting.

    Bizarrely, I think he'd rather die than pass himself off as a Jew. Or shave his beard.
