The FBI wants YOU

The FBI wants your data...all of it…fingerprints, iris prints, tattoos, scars, palm prints, facial shape, the way you walk, etc.

Kimberly Del Greco, the FBI’s Biometric Services section chief, said it is “important to protect the borders to keep the terrorists out, protect our citizens, our neighbors, our children so they can have good jobs, and have a safe country to live in.”

The ACLU’s Barry Steinhardt doesn’t believe it will stop there with criminals or terrorists. “This had started out being a program to track or identify criminals,” he said. “Now we’re talking about large swaths of the population — workers, volunteers in youth programs. Eventually, it’s going to be everybody.”

They seem to keep adding to the data they want from us. Does anyone out there think this is a bad thing?
