ID cards in the UK; 13 personal identifiers on the card itself... *Microsoft* warns against implementing the system saying [the proposal to place "biometrics" - or personal identifiers such as fingerprints - on a central database could perpetuate the "very problem the system was intended to prevent".]
"Unlike other forms of information, such as credit card details, if core biometric details such as your fingerprints are compromised, it is not going to be possible to provide you with new ones," - Mr Fishenden, national technology officer for Microsoft
hahahahahaha.
