Scary stuff.

The FBI already has 55 million sets of fingerprints on file. In coming years, the bureau wants to compare palm prints, scars and tattoos, iris eye patterns, and facial shapes. The idea is to combine various pieces of biometric information to positively identify a potential suspect.

I'm starting to care less and less about stuff like this. As long as it stops before use of retinal scans in marketplaces, pedestrian walkways, and public buildings and national implanted gps systems like some people say are "just around the corner."

less possibility of innocent people being convicted, your loved ones will have their identifying marks in a national system so better ids can be made if they go missing or are killed. trust me its not pleasant trying to identify a corpse of someone you know. police etc not wasting time running on bad ids or trying to track some down

basically everyones prints are in some system or another already. if thats acceptable and deemed necessary (i think most people think that) i dont see the difference extending it into other areas a little bit
