It seems to me that your level of knowledge draws out of a certain book you scanned. And to me it is apparent that you have a certain love for WW2 Germany. Reality is far from where you stand. Even mentioning you beloved German "Schlagworter" does us not help at all. As far as I recall the discussion was started about IRIS SCANS and not about history. Maybe you open up an own thread about that topic in a forum about history! There one could (I said could) learn. They know a lot of authors about WW2 with a deep impact... Back to FRA Germany.... Here we see just another installment of fear. As the homeland security of the U.S. demands from other countries in their club the use of biometrics in identification papers, for their citizens to get in the U.S., it is not far from here to use the already installed systems for other purposes. The impact of biometrics will be felt in a high degree in our everyday lives. The governments of the so called first world are trying to protect their economical gains from the third world by sacrificing the liberty of their citizens. Biometrics will bring down the fall of personal freedom, at least for me. I do not feel well, being scanned by finger, iris, speech recognition systems. Every technology that can be used for other purposes will be, that tells us HISTORY friend orthogonal, ask Oppenheimer if you do not believe me.
