I agree that this is one of just another long list of privacy violations, but I also think most of us (at least those reading Slashdot) are far smarter than the border guards or anyone managing the border guards. There are numerous encryption tools available that are more than sufficient and can provide encryption inside encryption. You shouldn't have to do this, but you certainly can if you want.
Why not just strap a camera on our heads at birth and get it over with? It won't be long before they just collect DNA at birth. Why not...will make things easier for law enforcement and that's what this seems to be all about.

It might be 'smart' but it sure isn't all that 'unique'.

What a relief..maybe now we can teach astrology instead of astronomy too!
