A year ago I created this informative website for Calvin, a good friend in Virginia who was working on his Computer Science degree from Virginia Tech. It was about Biometrics, including a few types of Biometrics and how they could be used by our government. Well, I had assumed at the time that it was all very experimental and the FBI or DOD probably only funded the research to use in government offices as security measures. Well, according to this clip, people are getting concerned about the possibility of government stronghold now that the Biometrics database is being expanded.

I know that we are all kept in the dark on a lot of government research but I’m going to have to ask, do you think I’ll get the privilege of knowing what (if any) data the government is collecting on me personally? I can log into my state’s government website and request (for $7) my driving record. I wonder if I can also find out if the state or federal government is keeping my fingerprints, face scan, DNA, etc? I wonder.
