- vroom101, on 07/29/2008, -1/+7What is even more frightening than the privacy issue is the very real possibility of an individual being physically and devastatingly maimed -- permanently, for the rest of his or her life -- because a thief needed and took a certain body part(s) from said individual to gain access. This scenario alone should cause us to reconsider using these biometric devices.
- ColonelTribune, on 07/29/2008, -1/+6Biometrics are always interesting, and you really don't see enough coverage of it, even in scientific publications. Good submission.
- nahsrocketeer75, on 07/29/2008, -0/+3OK, I know that's been done in the movies, but does anyone know whether it's even theoretically possible in real life? (Not that I'm planning anything, mind you.)
- AmyVernon, on 07/29/2008, -0/+2precisely. when does security mean we no longer have the privacy of our own biometric data?

- BlankVerse, on 07/31/2008, -0/+1From the article:
Forrester Research senior analyst Geoffrey Turner says privacy is more an issue of emotion than law. “The legal right to privacy does not exist in the U.S.,” he says. “While some individuals would like to have more control over who knows what about them, there is no basis for this in law. The European Union does mandate privacy, but that’s not the case here.”
