Seriously though if it achieved widespread adoption I can't imagine it not resulting in scanners everywhere and various Google analytics style information sharing services. Paranoia or not I can't say I'd like that.


People would start wearing shielding gloves just like they keep their credit cards in little card shields.

There's a scene in the movie version of Diamonds Are Forever in which Bond gets around fingerprint ID by something on the order of a scan of the fingerprint scotch taped to his finger.

Not that that's quite realistic, of course; the more important thing is that there are going to be people working on beating fingerprint and iris ID. And once they violate your biometric information, where are you going to get a new identity?

2- other postings: the comments mentioned in replies with their suggestions con chipping?
2.1- the posting above you (mine): my dead body?
2.2- the posting above you (mine): do you mean you think i came up with some good suggestions?

sybob, addseo1115 probably didn't mean anything as that user is probably a spam bot that posts computer generated waffle and links.
