The Biometric Solution is a Betrayal
A Biometric Solution Invades Our Privacy no Matter What Lies the Government Feeds Us. We Live in a Big Brother Police State & Biometrics Serves That NWO Agenda.
A biometric solution is readily available to any modern business with security concerns. Even some newer laptop computers are equipped with biometric programs.
Biometrics is the systematic collection of unique features of any given individual.
Fingerprints, face, palm, DNA, step pattern, retina and many other personal patterns are all part of a biometric solution. These are being touted as the technologies capable of making our world safer and more convenient.
Biometrics, they say, will eliminate the need for identification cards, money and many personal documents. They will also make it easy to identify and capture criminals in a safer and more efficient manner. But, what about our privacy?
The Challenge of Biometric Technologies
Sure, it would be quite nice if you headed to the local library, made your selections and then realizing that you forgot your library card, simply place your thumb in the “reader” and complete your check out.
While this might be an extremely handy biometric solution, it would also place the fingerprints of every registered library user in the hands of authorities who could easily abuse their power.
Since the creation of the Bill of Rights, and the Fourth Amendment in particular, American society has had a hard time translating the meaning of that document to current technologies.
New Acts
A look at the USA PATRIOT Act can demonstrate how easily Fourth Amendment rights would disappear in the face of dubious legislation and biometric data.
In the name of security or safety, a government agency could obtain an individual’s or an entire group’s personal data. What they would do with this would be entirely up to their discretion or intentions.
The end or elimination of anonymity and privacy translate easily to the end of civil rights. This is even more apparent when the many varieties of biometric applications are considered.
Visitors to the United States must submit a full set of biometric data, if not, they must present a passport containing biometric data.
So, this means that every person entering the country is documented in an entirely new and unique fashion. Their fingerprints and face are logged into a computer somewhere and every move they make can be recorded.
What about citizens?
The Frightening Thing about A Biometric Solution
It is important to note that any biometric solution is going to offer many types of data and data collection.
While it allows the child in the high school cafeteria to purchase their lunch, or the individual visiting Walt Disney World to access the park it is also noting the foods selected, the dates visited and the amount of time spent in the park.
This is all private and personal data or details that should not be recorded for posterity or for any governmental or commercial agencies later perusal. The implications of the sale or use of biometric data can be overwhelming.
An individual could, quite literally, be tracked, traced, recorded and documented for nearly their entire life. Marketing could be targeted directly from the data obtained in the illegal harvesting of personal data.
Here is where the Fourth Amendment issues hit their first real bump in the road. The kind of invasion of privacy that occurs with the collection of biometric data can easily be seen as an illegal search.
No one has been given the legal authority to override civil liberties in this way. This is the reason they are all ready beginning to use biometrics with kids.
School children are being trained to use biometric systems like never before, and to accept them as a totally natural and normal part of their day to day life.
In reality they are being trained to submit to a constant vigilance not unlike that of George Orwell’s vision in “1984.”
Purchase a book on liberty, justice or even atheism and you might end up on a government watch list. Use an anonymous computer in an Internet cafe.
