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 don't want my DNA in some government database because the potential for abuse is massive. If some guy who works with the database found out his wife cheated on him with some douche what's to stop the guy from planting the douche's DNA at a murder scene? What's going to stop people in politics from sprinkling their rivals DNA at a crime scene?

Same thing with palm prints etc.

Like Fanatic said, government encroachment upon our rights is incremental. Each time they only ask for an inch and no more, but all those inches add up to a mile.
