- Daggity, on 12/25/2007, -1/+15Silly!
That's a number. - dotlizard, on 12/25/2007, -10/+22oh relax. it's the government! it's their sworn duty to uphold the constitution! they're not going to violate any rights, this is for our own good. and remember the old saying, if you haven't done anything wrong, you've got nothing to worry about! yay i feel so safe. all warm and fuzzy. can i have my tracking chip implant now? no?
soon then. - Travelsonic, on 12/25/2007, -2/+14three words: buried for ignorance
- fr0mundacheese, on 12/25/2007, -1/+9FBI? What are we paying the Dept of Homeland Security for? I wish I knew which Govt agency was probing me...
- InsaneOni, on 12/25/2007, -1/+8Haven't you watched the X-Files, they already have that database....
- mousky, on 12/25/2007, -0/+7Planning? Isn't the US government already collecting fingerprints from federal prisoners, immigrants and visitors that enter the country via air?
- atbnet, on 12/25/2007, -2/+8Don't worry the entire federal government is ass ramming us all.
- mousky, on 12/25/2007, -1/+7Given the government's track record with creating, maintaining and using databases and computer systems, I predict this will be another boondongle that will be swept under the carpet. Look no further than the no-fly list. How is pulling aside children whose name matches some 50 year-old terrorist an efficient use of resources? How is it efficient when the same child is pulled aside not once, not twice but three times. Good use of taxpayers money.
- Clp727, on 12/26/2007, -0/+5It is all an act!! Just an excuse to create new laws that infringe upon our freedoms and basic rights. They are enslaving the population under the disguise of protection.
- Jlaugh, on 12/25/2007, -1/+6Go talk to a grand parent about how much has already been lost.
- BlueScreenOD, on 12/26/2007, -0/+5Do you seriously think that the proper response to a perceived wrong is to leave? How would the rhetoric work in the most severe situation? Imagine turning to your wife and saying, "well ***** honey, politicians are beating puppies and eating our babies, I guess we'll just suck it up or move to Canada instead of actually doing anything about it."
- URnotheonly1, on 12/25/2007, -2/+6they just sent my kid home with what looked like some form of passport ID. It had space for his picture and his finger prints on what looks like some sort of biometric ID.
I lost it - yayster, on 12/25/2007, -1/+5or three words!

four - inactive, on 12/25/2007, -0/+4Anyone caught exposing the lies of the United States Government will be tortured to death, but you can't prove it's torture.
You can't prove depleted uranium is harmful, no matter how many soldiers die from so called unknown causes.
The public really are sheeple. - objectcode, on 12/26/2007, -0/+4its as if he wants you to sacrifice your freedom and liberty so he can sleep at night feeling safe
- dotlizard, on 12/25/2007, -2/+6wow, that was absolutely the heaviest sarcastic tone i could manage, and everyone missed it? i must not be trying hard enough. do you really have to put the /sarcasm thing for people to recognize obviously blatant sarcastic commentary? sheesh people.
- mousky, on 12/25/2007, -1/+4Not happen? Ask federal prisoners if they have been fingerprinted? Ask immigrants and visitors who arrive by airplane if any of their biometric data has not been collected?
- JoelBakan01, on 12/25/2007, -3/+6I got it.
What amazes me though is that while your government is going for an unprecedented power grab (unprecedented in recent US history but certainly not in human history) you still have no socialized health care! The biggest power grab of them all which, arguably, does help the less fortunate. It is remarkable as you decline you really only acquire the worst a jackboot fascist regime has to offer. Strange. - yayster, on 12/25/2007, -1/+4hahahahhahahhahaha...oh wait. You are serious?
- RhodesSkolar, on 12/25/2007, -0/+3This is great news. Now at least I know that the majority of information about me can be found in one neat little package! Way to go FBI.
- airwalkery2k, on 12/25/2007, -8/+11Back in 1st grade, I remember the local police department collecting fingerprints to "help us" in case we ever got lost. Everybody who brought back their parental signed slip and submitted their fingerprints got a piece of candy. I guess I'm lucky my parents knew how bad it is to have records like that. I didn't get candy that day, but I know now I won't be framed for something by the government.
- largobargo, on 12/25/2007, -1/+4President Huckabee declares it will be a voluntary biometric registration system, but the unpatriotic who refuse to volunteer could end up lifeless in a bloody bath tub.
- hotdrop, on 12/25/2007, -2/+5Doesn't having more entries increase the chance of false positives?
- alvarezg, on 12/26/2007, -1/+4Once upon a time, the US could claim the biggest buildings, the longest bridges, the newest discoveries. Those days are long past. Now it's insidious spying, disregard for human rights, government corruption.
- 3tcp, on 12/26/2007, -1/+3I can't believe how much our government is overreacting to this al-qaeda thing. Yeah, 9/11 sucked but I'm not scared of getting killed by a terrorist attack. The actual statistical threat is negligible and has no impact on the way reasonable people live their lives.
This whole war on terrorism feels like hypochondria on a national scale. Both parties have become infected with a psychosis that distorts their understanding of the way real people feel and causes them to encourage fear and paranoia in the public. Hear of a possibility of potential gap in security so they spend millions on many things to fix it. - daviddiaz, on 12/25/2007, -1/+3oh well, i already paid the DHS over $1000 to take my finger prints and issue me a card that's supposed to be green, but is actually beige.
How much do I have to pay the FBI to do the same? - WIKMUNKEIOYONQA, on 12/25/2007, -3/+5If you didn't loose it all the way, can I suggest scanning it and posting a bulletin showing people what to look for. If we let this creep on us slowly, there won't be enough people saying they don't want it - to stop it. We need to rise up as a group if we want to get anything done.
- marx2k, on 12/27/2007, -0/+2Like sheep to the slaughter...
- URnotheonly1, on 12/25/2007, -1/+3They might be planning it, but this will not happen. And they can go ahead a fire the fascist ***** who wanted this.
- wvdavis, on 12/25/2007, -2/+4Little by little our civil liberties are being eroded.
- simplistics06, on 12/31/2007, -0/+2Feel safe yet?
- zhulien, on 12/26/2007, -2/+4what's the point, the only criminal worth tracking is Bush
- fruhbuzz, on 12/26/2007, -1/+3It WILL happen if THE PEOPLE let it. shout against it. spread the word.
- marx2k, on 12/27/2007, -0/+2There are people in this country who get paid to think up of ways to use the 9/11 dealie to their own advantage in taking away our rights under the name of protection. Unfortunately, these people were elected by us.
- b3mus3d, on 12/25/2007, -2/+4I wonder how many smart arsed diggers immediately thought that.
I know I did. - marx2k, on 12/27/2007, -0/+2You mean unable to collect from federal social programs when they need them most?
- Dustmuffins, on 12/26/2007, -2/+3Eight words: Six words: Four words: Two words: Lol, Dugg.
- dasaroth, on 12/25/2007, -2/+3Same old argument. "If you have nothing to hide,then you have nothing to worry about". Its crap, maybe i don't want my fingerprints on someones list. I did nothing wrong so why should they have access to my private information and or "biometrics". After trampling over your rights a citizens, One day when they decide to round up the disloyal "citizens" at least it will be easy for them to find you for your trip to a detention center. Sound Familiar
- SouthsideIrish, on 12/25/2007, -1/+2It's for the children!
- sesstreets, on 12/25/2007, -1/+2If they make that thing even half-way public it'll be hacked to bits.
- BlueScreenOD, on 12/26/2007, -1/+2This is a very flawed perspective on the purpose of civil liberties. It's as if you think innocent individuals don't need privacy or freedoms.
- 3tcp, on 12/26/2007, -1/+2Yeah but it's all in file cabinets. It would be a logistical nightmare to find people to put all that information into computers and to kill them all off when they're done. There are only so many computer savvy anti-social adult orphans in this country.
- Frostman3D, on 12/26/2007, -2/+3Guess who's Bio's we're talking about. Yep... you and me.
FIGHT THE POWER! - 3tcp, on 12/26/2007, -1/+2- The FBI is responsible for this program, they don't have anything to do with healthcare
- Congress isn't involved in this project and would only become involved if they needed to approve special funds or if they try to prevent it
- Socialized health has very little support and none of the presidential candidates are talking about it. People understand that the health care system is broken, the free market economic system is not.
- A program isn't acceptable and constitutional any time that it can help the less fortunate. Government doesn't exist to protect you from feeling sorry for others it exists to protect individual rights.
Responding to a story on a project where the government tracks free and innocent citizens regularly in their own country by talking about the need for health reform is like saying 'yeah dahmer was a murderer and what's really shocking is that he didn't even label those human remains as hazardous waste'.. - 3tcp, on 12/26/2007, -1/+2"it seems an inevitable consequence of computing"
No, it is an inevitable consequence of a political culture will do whatever it can to get away with something & believes it has the right to do whatever it can get away with and a society that is dominated by fear no matter the source of the perceived threat. - Niteryder, on 12/25/2007, -2/+2Another failure in the making and total waste of tax payer money. Time for the government to make due with job return from outsourced off shore countries and to mind its own business.

Imagine if they were looking at you...personally, do you think they could make an innocent person guilty? They can do it now, just wait till they have this new program in place.
One question: DO WE THE PEOPLE WANT THIS? -
