I can understand how the ACLU might not like this kind of "surveillance", but they should worry more about the corporations which misuse data. I mean, who really cares if fingerprint #504938294 had the sweet sweet sloppy joes two days in a row?
I'm, actually glad to see some sensible uses of technology. And it's nice to know that we are another step closer to the Back to the Future: Part II lifestyle. However, paying for things with your thumb/finger (I think it would be better to "thumb a $100" rather than "finger a $100") could have sever downsides, for example gambling. And if you have daughters, be sure to NOT get them a VISA fingerprint.
